My Oldest Son ( Archived) (20)

Feb 10, 2010 10:03 PM CST My Oldest Son
After loosing all phone/email contact with my oldest son for quite sometime I took it upon myself to contact anyone who knew him and what may have happened to him. Well today my long long search for him has ended. I was able to find out that he had decided to join the United States Army.He was also deployed to Iraq.I'm so very happy in regards to finding out just why I'd lost all contact with him but at the very same time I'm relieved that I located him.I'm totally scared to death too.

No, thank you and your son.
How old is he? When he has the time I am sure he will contact you. Maybe he could not tell you what his intentions were. It would be hard for any young adult child to tell their mother they were going into the service and not upset you, or give you time to talk him out of it.hug

Aww thank you for your very kind offer too.I will mail you if I need your help.hug

Yes he chose to join the Army but you haven't a clue as to how I'm feeling right now unless you've been a mother.
