I just can't take it anymore....no letter no phone calls....no nothing.....its been three weeks now and I am just so depressed. Although my SR's girl friend came over this weekend and I was sooo happy to see her it was like having a piece of my baby back. We sat around and talked about my son for hours it was nice. I also cleaned my SR's room from top to bottom. It is nice and clean for when he comes home. GSDGirl where is your son going after PiR?? and what will his job be?? I am sorry you are alone that has to be hard. I still have two at home 18 and 15 and then there are a plethora of kids here. Sat. night I 12 teens here carving pumpkins, sing, dancing, eating,and hanging out....that helps take my mind off the waiting a bit. I also work and that helps too. and lastly I go to the gym three times a week to trier myself out so I can get a good nights sleep. We have to be getting a letter this week we have to....

He said they are doing good, mostly talked about himself and that he's getting a belly from eating good. He made some friends, and he gets in trouble for smiling,(he's always smiling). He's an Honor Guard, and he misses home.

Happy Dance! I received letters from my SR today! He had his wisdom teeth removed, so the letters were interesting/ started a thought and shifted to another. Anyway, he said he has made some really close friends but is friends with most of the division. But that's my kid...he can make friends wherever he is. Looking forward to seeing everyone in a month!
