SR boys... challenging to have them write home!
This is my SR's 4th week and I received one handwritten letter, 2 phone calls, 1 form letter and a box of dirty clothes. The last call from him was Tuesday 11/12 & he did say he wrote more letters.
SR said; it wasn't necessary to write 5 letters a day to him...
Me; must be how they are being delivered to you as I write/mail once a day.
SR; I'm getting in trouble; Me; in trouble? SR; well they are saying things to me. Me; Oh, so they are giving you a hard time?
SR; yes. SR; only write letters, I don't need to know what is going on in the world. Me; ok.
Needless to say; I haven't written since (lol).
I'm thinking that "maybe" it wasn't the amount of mail he was receiving, but the envelopes being puffy is bringing on the attention to him. I use standard size white envelopes with black ink. No stickers, no glitter... just plain! I did send him a post card of Prescott, AZ where I live... just in case he forgot. ha ha ha
Since joining the Navy For Moms groups, accepting this new journey for my son has been much easier. There is a terrific amount of support with moms here who have either gone through this transition, are currently going through and just about to go through... Thank you to everyone!!
4 weeks till PIR!!

Hi Everyone Hope all of you are doing good..today has not been a good day I am missing my SR a bunch today ! When I left for work I saw a big Red Fox in the neighbors drive. It was beautiful Made me think of my girl and how much she would have loved to see that. made me sad that I couldn't share that with her. I wrote her and told her all about it and can just imagine the smile when she reads that. It made me miss her more but I actually think it was a sign from her that all is going well. Hope everyone sees Their "fox" soon !!!

Starting to get excited now, they are 22 days from PIR :) Hope all is good with everyone. Judy P - boys will never understand. Hay'smom- its the pretty things that remind us of them.

This is a link to the face book page from the town of Wauconda that adopted out our sailor and 35 of his shipmates of div.#040 on thanksgiving day. Was so good to see him enjoying his day and having a good time. Hope this helps some of you get a glimpse of your sailor and how they spent their day.
