It is so good to hear from you. Yay for letter writing. He will be so happy when he starts getting them. They live for our letters.That's what I would do to. I would tell him funny stories about the pets and everything that was happening at home. Yes that's what I would do to. I would say other things to let him know that I'm thinking of him, I love him and sometimes I would say I miss you but I would try to slide it in there. :)
Right, thank you for saying that. Cause he doesn't get it right now. Lol So I give him his space and we do text each other gn/lu for now. So I am happy for that. It is. He is my youngest and ugh!!! Lol
Oh my gosh that sounds awesome. I would have cried to. That's how I feel. I have good days and then bam I see a picture or see something and bam here they come!!! Lol
Lol That 's good and yes you probably would scare him right now. Lol
Oh good so not to far away from home. Who knows? You might be able to have a visit at some point. Never say never. We will have to see what happens.
Oh wow that sounds like an exciting field. That is great that he is excited about it.
You are very welcome and hugs to you to. Have a good day tomorrow. :)
Hi partyofseven! I am ok, been trying to keep myself and my daughter busy. Really missing my son the last few days. One of my brothers came to visit and started going through my son's stuff and asking to take things of his. It really upset the two of us and kind of reversed the progress we were making. I hope you are doing well :)
Hey reecee730,
I have been good. I take it one day at a time to. Some days I hear from my son and then a couple of days goes by and I don"t. He's almost 22 now so I figure it's part of their growing up. I don't know. Lol I take my own advice and keep myself busy!! lol
How are you? How's it been going? I'm sorry to hear about your brother, it's not like your son is not going to come home, that was weird.Hopefully you were able to say no nicely. Lol How are you doing now?
You can talk to me anytime, no worries. We are all in this together. Where does he go to A school at? Does he know yet?
