4 more Fridays - sounds so much better than 28 days lol so thats how I am counting them down :) hang in there we are almost there. I do not think any of us were prepared for how hard this would actually be - no matter how much I read up on it and thought I was a step ahead of the game - I was so wrong. But the young men that will be waiting for us when they open those big doors - they will make this part of out journey all worth it :)

This is the only place I can let this out...I am disappointed in my SR. We have only received 1 letter (last week). When we last spoke on the phone, he said he didn't have any time to write but I see everyone else on here and FB getting multiple letters each week. I am so close to not sending him anything more but I just can't do that ... his sisters are wondering why they are not important enough for him to write to them. UGH - I had extreme fears when we said goodbye at MEPs that we would not hear from him and it seems to be coming true (at least a bit). I'm trying to keep it together because my husband thinks it's stupid that I am upset and the girls don't need to see how I really feel about it when I tell them he is very busy. I won't say anything to him about my feelings in anything I send but it's really hard to stay positive about it all when I have to hear what's going on from everyone on here and FB and not from him at all. OK - rant over...time to get on with a busy weekend of stuff!
Sorry to bring everyone down a bit but I needed to get it out...have a great weekend!

I have only received 2 letters from my SR as well. He tells me the letters keep him going as I'm sending them twice a week without complaint but...DAM...Don't they think we need something to keep us going as well ;) I guess its easier for us as we are still in our comfort zone. I I am being extremely patient.lol But....When I see him at graduation Im going to give him a big SMACK for making me wait!!!
ps I also am making excuses to my SRs 9 year old sister whom waits at the mailbox
Your not alone

My son hates to write. I get one letter a week, and it's only one small sheet, half written page. I have never received multiple letters, nor has his girlfriend. I know they are tired. They only get to write on Sundays, and mine would rather do just about anything than write, I'm sure. I know mine appreciates receiving daily letters from his g/f and me. Hang in there. I'm sure he appreciates the letters you all send.
