Hi my name is Julie... my daughter left 8/20/13 to great lakes.. I miss her so much.. I knew this day would coming and I told myself to be strong for her but now that she gone the tears keep coming..how are holding up?
I received his phone call this weekend but was not home, he did however leave a message and spoke briefly to his Aunt. My sister (his Aunt) who was able to speak with my son said he sounds great and is really enjoying his experience in boot camp. I just booked my airfare for PIR , I cannot wait to be there so proud.
Hi Austin's Mom, I am so happy to hear that you heard from your son. I have not yet heard from my daughter Kayla.. She left on August 20, 2013 so i am not sure when she able to make another call.. I am still waiting for her box.. I am hoping it comes soon so i can send her all the letters i already wrote to her and her phone card so she is able to call me when she can.. Yesterday was the first Sunday that I had attended church without her and it was hard.. We had group prayer so that helped me and my husband alot. I pray that this gets easier. Julie
