Sending and receiving emails, letters and eblueys has been something we have come to rely on. It's been a life-line for my family and helped us cope while our son has served away. It has kept us in touch and has kept the communication channel open between us which is what every worried mum and dad want. At times it has been hard for our son to get in touch with us while out on special ops but when back at camp and that email arrived home it was such a wondeful feeling for us all. Just a few lines saying he was ok made all the difference to our life back home and helped us cope another day. The ebluey system is brilliant and is easy to get to grips with allowing photos to be sent to your loved ones too. Parcels have been great to fill and have given us a sense of being closer to our lad while he served away. Filling the parcels kept us busy and also allowed other members of the family such as grandparents to get involved with too. To be able to send special parcels for birthdays and christmas is very important for the moral of the soldier and also for the parents and family back home. I am just so grateful to all concerned that have helped keep the mail going out to the men and women serving in war-zone countries. The link is vital and helps us all cope in these stressful and worrying times.
