Oh...that's good! It gives me hope! I really need a letter...
Yesterday was by far the worst day for me...missing my hubby so much...it's harder than i could imagine.
We've never been apart in 8 years. Sometimes I just want to do nothing...just sleep and only wake up on the PIR day. It's hard...my God.
I know that I need to get motivated...for me, for my daughter, for my hubby...but it's really hard.
Sorry ladies, but I needed to say it. Maybe it helps me a little...
Hope you all have a great weekend, Dany.

Thanks faithsmom! It means a lot to me!!! I really appreciate your sweet words!
And guess what? I checked my mail...and finally got 3 letters from hubby! Two for me and one for our daughter! It's the best feeling ever! Knowing he's doing good, eating well...and lots of stuff going on there...
He also told me that as nobody knows how to pronounce his last name (our last name is hard to say), everybody call him as "Brazil"...( we're from Brazil)
He told me that someone's mom wrote to her daughter telling that became friends with me at Navy for Moms...I was wondering that could be you! ?
Anyway...I hope I can meet you all, give you a big hug, and thank you for the support.
I couldn't make it without this group!!!
Thanks once again, Dany.

The last couple days were really down days for me, but we got our letters today also and that was a wonderful "pick me up"!! She sounds upbeat and happy. Said she loves the food and has made, as she put it a "ton of friends" She passed her PFA and with all being said, sounds like I can sleep a little better this week. Which is something I am in desperate need of!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Hello ladies, my son joined this division on Aug 30 after being in RCU for three weeks due to muscles in his back not being fully developed. I just received the letter today that he was declared FIT FOR FULL DUTY and this is his new division. Now I can finally book our flight and hotel being that I finally have an official graduation date!!!

He arrived at boot camp on August 2.. It's been 5 weeks and I have gotten two phone calls, the first was to inform me that he was moved to RCU and the second was a 10 minute call that they allowed him to call and check on his family due to hurricane Issac. It was nice to talk to him that long. He was supposed to call again when he was released to full duty but we never got that call, just a letter a week later...so I'm hoping that they will all get to make phone calls tomorrow.
