Well, this was the first weekend without Dalton being home. The weather was beautiful here in Michigan, and I found myself checking the weather in Great Lakes often, just to see if it was a beautiful day there. His bedding is all clean, curtains have been washed, ironed, cleaned and dusted his room...anything to be in his room helped me get through this weekend. Waiting anxiously for the form letter, anything to hear from him.

<p>Our son left two days ago for boot camp I also received that brief phone call letting me know he arrived and should receive his box and address withing three weeks....</p>
<p> I too have been crying on and off daily. He has younger siblings and the one who is 8 and understands says mommy do you think the little guy (2-1/2 yrs old) will remember him when he sees him at graduation? I say of course he will and then when I can I head to go behind closed doors to shed some more tears... I know…</p>

I say of course he will and then when I can I head to go behind closed doors to shed some more tears... I know he will be fine at boot camp and he has so been looking forward to start this new chapter in his life but as a mom he will always be my baby. This is the first time we have been apart this long with no call. I think and pray for him as well as the rest of the recruits multiple times through out the day and hoping this time flies by for all of us.</p>

Dalton's Mom...my son left for BC on 9/15 and I still cry. Not as much but I do. I'm still sad. I still walk around the house sometimes feeling lost, like there's a big empty hole. Somehow it gets more manageable. I slept in his room for 2 wks but once I got a phone call and the letters starting coming it helped alot. Once you start making your arrangements to attend PIR you'll start getting excited instead of being so sad. I know for me, I'm still sad, very sad, but you just learn to…

Once you start making your arrangements to attend PIR you'll start getting excited instead of being so sad. I know for me, I'm still sad, very sad, but you just learn to manage it better.

Our son left for GL Wed Oct 5th also, or I should say he arrived there that day. Was at Meps the day before with all the other recruits for 11 hours. Yes I also received the partially scripted phone call and I couldn't help but cry once he hung up. As I type this I'm sitting in my sons room on his computer, just want to be as near as I can and if it's in his room for a bit, thats ok. Two of his friend stopped by last night to visit us, so thoughtful. They miss him so much too. Had to leave work…
Our son left for GL Wed Oct 5th also, or I should say he arrived there that day. Was at Meps the day before with all the other recruits for 11 hours. Yes I also received the partially scripted phone call and I couldn't help but cry once he hung up. As I type this I'm sitting in my sons room on his computer, just want to be as near as I can and if it's in his room for a bit, thats ok. Two of his friend stopped by last night to visit us, so thoughtful. They miss him so much too. Had to leave work half day today because I just couldn't focus and really needed to have a good cry and so I did. Our dogs were right there to console me, bless their little furry hearts. Feel a bit better now, had been holding it in so much and only allowing small tears but I needed to just let it go. Looked lovely afterwards but thank you Lord for make-up so I did my public service and reapplied my face lol. Every day that goes by Moms is a day closer to graduation! I know my son has only been gone 2 1/2 days but for once I want time to fly by fast and I'll take every positive thought I can wrap my hands around. Like Katesmom and DaltonsMom above I keep wondering is he ok? Is he getting yelled at? Is he feeling lost? and it goes on and on and on and then I have to stop myself, say a prayer and ask God to please put a hedge of protection around him and be with him, look after him and protect him. So I lift him up because he is God's child first and I get comfort because I know how much I love him and I know God loves him even more. I do also pray for comfort and peace for my heart and I'm blessed to see and meet people like the wonderful Mom's on this site and friends lend support which helps a lot. It's going to hurt but the love of others helps to ease the hurt. They teach us how to raise our kids, raise them to be good loving honorable human beings but I never was taught how to let him go. So I might be a bit clumsy at it but thats ok. Well Mom's I wish you each a wonderful evening and I am saying a prayer including all our kids tonight.

<p>My days are consumed with thoughts of my daughter. Every day, every moment. She arrived on Oct 3. I think I am most concerned that something will happen. (get sick, injured, homesick, people yelling at her, etc...). My oldest just graduated Marine Boot Camp in April. I couldn't stop thinking about her either. So - in my opinion, crying is normal and having them on your mind is just what us mom's do. Can't change it! And how the tears flow at PIR!!! I am on this journey with you.…</p>
