My son left for basic training on February 8th. I know exactly how you are feeling. I cried almost the whole week after he left. I never thought it would be so difficult. It does get better though. We received 3 letters last Friday and he sounded really good. I was so relieved! He let us know how much he realizes why we said and did all the things for him even though we drove him crazy. We are patiently waiting for our first phone call besides the one that we got when he arrived in Great Lakes. Hang in there!
