I can't find the fb page for 11/9, what should I look for?
Let me ask everyone this Have you all sign up for PIR 11/9 fb page it is really encouraging on there too.
Debzz3 be encourage I know it is hard for you and her. But Trust the LORD and have Faith in him. Its scary also I have fear in my heart about my son and I havent heard anything. But I am going to stand on God promise.
I got a letter today. Well actually two in one envelope and one for her sister. She is really down and says she hates there and wants to come home. Says she failed her first PT test and now has to go to medical before she can take the next one. But she passed her swimming test. I just want to cry though that she is so miserable.
So sorry Markelle...I hope your day comes really soon. Although it is almost more torture to have it. I had been thinking well at least he is getting letters from me, only to have him say he hasn't gotten any letters from home and it is week 3...ouch. Little does he know I have been writing since day one and sending since the form letter.
Deedee Thanks I just found you on facebook. I friended you. Did anyone hear from their SR Lately.
Finally a letter!!! It was so good and so sad all at the same time. He sounds good except that he says he hasn't received any letters from home. That is what made me completely lose it. I don't want him to think we aren't writing. I have been writing since he left and been mailing them for about 1 1/2 weeks now...I sure hope he has gotten them by now.
No letter today for me! Hopefully tomorrow will be the day so I can make sure he's been getting my letters!!
Nice to hear some of you are getting letters! My SR is 27 and has been on his own for years and we really didn't hear from him on a regular basis before he went in. But now, I race to the mailbox to see if he might send something. I haven't even gotten the form letter yet. He's a grown man and doing what he needs to do but he's being awfully selfish not touching base with us...haha!
