That's what I keep telling myself and I keep telling my SR in every letter. Stay Strong!! We gotta be here for each other. But in a way the phone call was bitter sweet because I heard his voice but it just makes me miss him!! Stay Strong!! My new slogan.

Sheree-I am so sorry you missed his phone call! Will pray for the mail handlers to move quickly & get those mail to all of you.
My son don't like to write and before he left he looked at all of us and said, "I'm not going to write letters" I looked at him & before I could get a word out he says, I don't want to think and write and then I'm gonna start missing home more! All I said was, you better call then! Lol.....that's mÿ youngest for you! -

Thanks 808, I'm sure glad to know there was a reason for not getting the letters. I just figured my son never went and got stamps and the letters were just sitting there. They are so funny aren't they. I will anxious to check the mail midweek. Thanks moms. I can't say enough how happy I am to be able to communicate with all of you.

I have to add my "sorry you missed your call" to Sheree & Insewa. It's hard to hear when they say they're not feeling well and there is nothing you can do to help. It's our job to keep them healthy and safe. I guess we have to trust the Navy will do that for us now. Sheree, no news is good news. He'll be well taken care of.
I got a call from my SR yesterday. We could only talk for about 5 mins. but it was so nice to hear his voice. He sounded better than he did last week. Still on the fence about the whole Navy decision but realizes this is his journey. This BC thing can be mentally draining. It will be much better once out & in A school.
Yes, our motto here is Stay Strong !
