Wow..
My Seth left for BC April 3rd, and I admit, he has always been a mommas boy! And when he was here, out of school, sitting in his room with the door closed playing video games until 3am, then sleeping until 4pm the next day, I never thought that being without him was going to be so DIFFICULT. I love all of my kids equally, but him and I have always had this sort of…

None of these are created by me. This is the result of a Google search and copy paste. Many of them came from N4M. There are lots of duplicates as well. But this is the springboard that I am using to create 15 question letters to send to my SR. Sending a couple per week so that they hopefully last through till PIR. Looks like I have to put them into 2 posts.
While these are not the warm loving personal letters that we hope to receive from our sailor, they are novel and fun (if…
