Back to Cali :(

Well... my son has come and gone from his pre-deployment leave. It was great to have him here. We had some good times. Took some nice pictures. It's still really hard to believe he is going to "The Big Ugly Place"  I wish I knew what it was going to be like there... how communication is going to be, how long it will take for care packages to get to him. The waiting for the first word from him that he's there is going to be hard. I want to know what the winter there is going to be like... I have questions but I'm sure all MoM's do.. in time I may [or may not] get answers.
