Just got the form letter, with her address and few lines. Today is Wednesday I hope to get something in the next day or so. We are only 5-6 hours from Chicago, so mail doesn't take that long.

I'm looking forward to a smaller PIR. Maybe we won't be in lines for hours. Still trying to decide where to stay. I've never been in the Chicago area, except when I switched planes at O'Hare a couple of years ago, so I'm looking forward to taking in the sites.

They are really, really busy...plus, maybe he's not much of a writer (some people just can't express their feelings that way). We should be getting a call soon, after they go through battlestations. We are almost there, try not to worry.

hugs--- I know we all want the letters. and phone calls. It looks like some divisions gets a LOT of phone calls, while others only get a few. My SR hasn't been writing as much to me (my daughter), But I know she has gotten a lot of mail from friends and neighbors. so she has been writing them. I know she only has so much time to write. I did get a call the other day from her, but we are div 171. And I know she told me in a letter her next call will be on 5/10 which is after battlestations. I really am hoping they allow all the SR to call mom on mothers day. But, I am not getting hopes up. Your SR could of tried to call, but you may of missed call. They are busy-like Brenda said. Take care! May 13 is almost here!
