I have been on this site since my son left for booth camp back in June. I was reading some of the new post for parents that there sons and daughters. I know how you feel and my heart goes out to all of you. We have 20 days untill we leave to see him grad. We have had our ups and downs but the feeling I have for what my son is doing makes all the downs worth it.

We are anticipating graduation as well. I write to my son every day. We all miss him so much. And are soooooo proud of him. Phase III must be extremely busy for them. We were receiving many letters. They were all so positive. Haven't received any for the past week. Also haven't received graduation packet. Have you been getting letters? We are getting a little worried. The unknown is the worst.

Glad to here I'm not the only one. I thought we were suppose to get graduation packets the 9th week and it is going on past the 10th week. Yeah averaging about 1 letter a week but my son reassured me not much time but I figured he was. I have been praying for my sons and all elses safety and well being. Especially with The Crucible coming up next week.

Sounds like you have been counting down just as we have been doing. My son graduates Sept. 16th. I am getting so excited to see him that it is hard for me to concentrate on anything else! I remember thinking, when he left in June, that September would never get here. It is very difficult, but I must agree with you when you said that "the feeling that I hae for what my son is doing makes all the downs worth it". I think the pride that we all have for our sons cannot be described, The crucible is soon, and I am praying for all of our sons.
