Hi Rosalinda, We're doing as good as we can. Missing our son like you and the other moms. We have not received our call either. My son had 6 in his group. I would love to stay in touch. Wouldn't it be something if they get to know each other?

We will keep in touch because together we will all get through these tough times. And yes maybe our sons will become friends.

Hi, my son left on 1/14. We have received his box but have not received a phone call or any other info. I know things can change but I was under the impression that they would get to place a very short phone call just to let us know he arrived safely. Obviously he did or we wouldn't have gotten his box. I have been waiting for that call. The first 2 days after he left I sat by the phone. I was just wondering if they are allowed to leave a message on an answering machine. I also don't know when his PIR date is. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
