I went to the post office this morning to weigh my letters and mail them. Standing in line for the postal machine I suddenly realized I did not have my cell phone. I PANICed! The lady behind me offered to hold my place if I needed to go get something out of the car. I told her that I had to go home and get it and the only reason I paniced was because my son was at boot camp and I never knew when he would call. She just looked at me cockeyed and said oh. I stood there and prayed that if he was going to be call today that it would not be until I got home to get the phone. Thank God he had not called, but I did not get a call at all today. And alas no mail :(

I did get my call last night and it was at my company Christmas party! I got to talk with her for some time. She was in better spirits. She sounded like my girl this time that is for sure. I could tell that she wanted to cry but she did keep it together and we laughed, we encouraged each other. She said that she has a countdown too.
Funny how some people do not even think about the little things that keep us going. I would have done the same thing. Hopefully you will get your call soon. And hopefully we all get mail soon.

I got a phone call from him last Saturday morning. No letters yet. :-( I read somewhere that only the senior SR's got to participate in the Adopt a Sailor. I cried all night. But mine told me that they would get to participate. I hope they did.

My son called a little over an hour ago and got to talk for 29 minutes. He's doing a little bit better this week except he has a stuffy nose right now and has been up since 3am because of it and then had watch at 4am. He got emotional and started to cry a bit when they were told it was time to go. I feel so bad that he is missing us so much. I wish it would get easier for him, I hate to hear my son upset.
