I too laughed outloud 
when I read about the care package. God, what a great person you are. The best in my book. So thoughtful and SO much fun. I can just picture the look on their faces. ALL their faces. And I can hear, oh dear, that has got to be from YOUR mother! 
This will be like a breath of fresh air for the guys and gals. You will really make their day. Oh hell, a lot more than that my friend. You must tell them they HAVE to take photos. I boy do I want to see this! 
So Platoon Mom and soon to be Battalion mom. keep your chin up and it won't be long before you have them both back. We will continue to think positive and enjoy every moment with your boys no matter how small. I know you do, so that goes without saying.
Love your letters, so keep them coming. Only a few of us reply, but I know that the others out there reading your posts get a big kick out them when they are joyful and get a teary-eyed when you are down.
