I would love a handwritten letter! He said he has written letters but then by the time he goes to send them all the information in them is invalid. I say... who cares! Its from him. I dont think he gets that.
I still have all his letters from basic.

Being a "single mom" is tough. I remember the days (with fondness) when I would say "see ya boys!" and run out to the grocery store... now I just have a frustrated and bored child to drag along and people letting me in front of them in the lines because he has had enough by then and is screaming at them. I ran out to rent a movie, but by the time I got there he was passed out in the carseat and I didnt even want to attempt to move him and wake him up. So much for that attempt.
