Minneapolis, MN only: Please answer if you can - and if you are a mom you will understand

Last night past midnight I received a very sad call from my 15 year old son.
He is a high school wrestler and wanted to do 2 camps this summer, one in
PA, the other a 28 day camp at UM Minneapolis campus that he attended last
year. His father agreed to this, but I had my doubts.  Mom was right.  He
was very tired when he called and said he is very homesick.  He ended up
with no roommate at this camp, which might be great later on, but last night
he needed someone there.  I'm 1500 miles away and need a mom that is willing
in the next 2 weeks or so to go give this teenager a hug from me, or at
least check on him.  I'm sure he will be fine eventually, but he wasn't last
night at all - although he did tell me that on the plane (which he says
shook all the way; that probably didn't help his mental state!) he met some
guys that were going fishing with someone from Tampa who was meeting them at
the airport.  When they landed the fishing buddies introduced my son to Tony
Dungy, the coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers!

So, if you have time and a big heart, please contact me for more
information, and thank you for reading this and understanding.  Tonight when
my son and I talk, I'm sure it will be a little better, but ...
