Was watching a program last evening and the music made me so emotional. Do any other moms find they cry at just about anything now? This is not normal for me, however since my SR left I'm very sensitive .

Thank you so much Huskymom, for validating my emotions and tears. I'm the only girl in a long line of men in my family so I usually kept my emotions in control. At PIR I plan on letting it all out. I can not wait to experience it all. Hope to meet you. Love the grocery shopping story, such great memories in such simple everyday tasks with our SR's. Aren't those almost always the best times. Everyday tasks.

Hello to everyone here. I have a SR in division 133, This site has been comforting for me. Great information, Single mom, empty nest I don't feel so lost and alone. Looking forward to graduation. Coming in on Amtrak any great tips on how to get into Great Lakes and getting around. I noticed that a lot of folks booked at the Navy Lodge. I thought I would have to be military. Will check.

Hi Yvan,
My SR is in div. 133 also. I don't know much about Amtrak, however we are staying at Navy Lodge and prices are really great do no need to be military, but you should let them know you are coming in fir PIR and you have an SR. Where are you coming from?

Hello everyone!! How are you all doing? I must say, they really spoiled us with the last two phone calls because now I find myself wishing I'd see that 847 area code would pop up on my phone all the time. Who else looks forward to Thursdays so much to get letters?! They always leave a smile on my face that last until the next time I find envelopes in my mailbox. I was thinking about our men a lot this past week because my letters said that the past week was supposed to be really tough... :/ Can't wait until the 29th!!! Hope to meet some of you :)

All I have are the 3 letters. I missed his phone call last week. I know what you mean about Thursdays. My favorite day of the week. Can't wait until the 29th. :))))))

I must have read the letters a million times. I read them every night before I go to sleep. Makes me not miss him as much... Rows girl, will you be going to the Meet and Greet the day before PIR??

I got my tickets before I knew about the meet and greet and we won't land until 10 pm so I am afraid not unless I can find another flight landing earlier. I would love to go. :)
