As the mother of
two jedis, my heart just broke when I read this, but I also understand your pride.
I imagine they won't allow you to contact him during basic training, but do they allow you to send letters and care packages? Could I send him one?
Well, when Eric was your boys' age, he was more of a Ninja Turtle, but he did go to the midnight showing of Episode II to cheer on the Jedi Knights! :o) We have an older son too who is a brilliant young man, considering work in the CIA after college. They go from little ones to big ones all too quickly, so treasure every moment with your adorable little Jedis!
We're supposed to hear in a week or so what Eric's address is, and how much contact we can have. I hope we can mail him a package or two, but we're new to this, so we'll have to wait and see what the deal is.
You wouldn't have to be too picky in what you sent him........he'll eat anything! LOL!
When my son and daughter were in basic training I sent care packages sometimes daily. Learned later the goodies were 'expropriated'! LOL. But they did get my daily letters with news from home and clips of their favorite comics, etc., from the newspaper.
