No, this was a separate letter. I had already received the "form" letter. I received three (small) envelopes: one with the insurance / GI bill, one with the Adopt a Sailor form and the other was the thee page letter. It's like you don't know what's worse not hearing from them or hearing what they have to say... I just hope the worst is over. If you want I can email you my number and you can call me anytime... but no it's not easy. I can't wait til this is over.

Good morning ladies!!
Hope you all are doing well and had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Well, it's week 3 and our babies are still standing. Isn't that a wonderful feeling to know that despite everything we helped them be as strong as they are! Cause I want to think I had a little to do with the fact that she's as strong as she is. Let's hope this week will bring us many letters and at least one phone call to help put our hearts at ease.
Have a wonderful week ladies God bless!

Great post!!
I finally got real letters on Friday. He sounded so good. He said he had found a church service that was like our home church. Which was such a blessing to know this was a priority for him. Which also adds to that strength that he is displaying with his ship mates!!
Have a great day ladies be blessed!!

I got the phone call and she sounded great! Wow talk about putting your heart at ease. She says she has her good days and her bad days. When it's good it's okay and when its bad... it's brutal. The fact that she's still standing is a testiment to how strong she is and how strong they ALL are as a team! Ladies, we should ALL be proud of our kids we did an EXCELLENT job considering they don't come with instructions.
She's craving a nice long shower, a nap in her bed and a big bag of Flaming Hots... sounds like my girl :)
