Amy, it's so good to know you are getting to talk to hubby! You will do great honey since you get to talk to him often.
As for your son, I think it's awesome that he feels comfortable enough to talk to you about his body and life changes. This is the type of relationship I have with my three kids and I don't think anything is private to us four. LOL I made our relationship this way though by being open with them and letting them come to me with anything. Just listen to him and ALWAYS act interested and excited when things happen. It's great to know you have a parent to support you so well in everything, especially in today's world. Your son is a lucky lil man!
On a side note, I got a phone call about 2 hours ago and on the other end, I heard the word, "Momma"? It was Shad!!!! My heart just leaped when I heard his lil voice. It's the first time I have heard from him since he left. He sounds REALLY worn out already. He said he didn't feel well. Thinks he has the flu.
This did not make me feel better because I have the urge to take care of him in everything, as you can imagine, but I am SO happy I got to hear his voice and know he made it to Kuwait okay. He will be leaving for north of Baghdad on Sunday in a convoy. So don't know how long it will be before he can contact us again. The not knowing is killing me. I just wish I knew when he is supposed to get in touch with us again, so the time between contacts does not worry me so. I am trying to leave him in God's hands, but it's so hard to not put a Mom's hand in here and there to make sure he is guided in the right direction out of harms way. There are just times when we have to trust our children and God to know that they will be okay. I just love him to pieces and can't wait for him to come home already.
Keep us posted on hubby and the phone calls. It lets me know I have company in this long wait for them to come home.
