Missing DS who at boarding school...

DS2 has been at boarding school since September. He wanted to go and that he is very happy there (at least, he us that he is). We speak regularly - he calls us whenever he likes, which is just about every other day.

I miss him very much. Could anyone share some practical, sensible thoughts and ideas on how best I can deal with missing him?

NB also all the activities are to exhaust the children and not give them time to miss you - unfortunately the school doesn't take the parents needs into consideration!

Letters/postcards are very good - and random unexpected parcels for him to receive. What about finding a mag/comic that you could send him every week? (My DM used to do this for us.)

And I boarded under 20 years ago but think with mobiles/email and general lifestyle that people are MUCH more in touch than they were then.
