Danny left yesterday. His friend Doug picked him up around 7 AM as he had to be at the armory at 8. Parker woke up before he left so he went in his room to say bye to him...even though we were coming to the airport. It was really hard for both Danny and I. Parker seemed fine. He would say "you cryin momma?" with his head cocked to the side and a soft sweet voice. I would tell him "yeah, but momma is gonna be ok!" he would just hug me and tell me he was sorry. He also asked "daddy cryin?" I would say the same thing about him being ok too.
Danny called around 9 and said he was flying out at 10:45 and he would be at the airport around 10. So P and I got dressed and headed that way. I ran into lots of people from my work that were headed on business trips. They all flew with Danny to Dallas. They were already going through security by the time I got there, so we didn't have a lot of time. P was running around like normal and Danny decided he better go on through security as well. We said our goodbyes and we watched him at security for a minute but P was restless and wanted to go over and see his daddy, so we left.
Once Danny got to Dallas he had a 6 hour layover. So he called several times while he was at the airport waiting. He made it to OK around 7:30 and got on a bus to Ft Sill. He was able to have his phone until they drove up to the base. He text me at 9:45 to let me know they were pulling up and that he had to turn off his phone. I am not sure when I will talk to him again. I am hoping for Sunday! Yesterday seemed like the longest day! I know Danny must have felt the same.
Please keep Danny in your prayers. From what I have seen and read BT does not look like a walk in the park. I know Danny will do good, but I'm sure he could use some extra prayers. We all could, right. I know I do!
I did take a couple of before pictures yesterday morning and I will post them later.
One quick thing about Parker... He is so "helpful and independent." Last night he told me that he wanted some more milk and I guess I did not get in there quick enough. As I was on my way to the kitchen, he met me half way with the full gallon of milk he has gotten out of the fridge. He also had his cup in the other hand. He is so funny! He also loves to put his plate in the sink once he is done eating. Such a big helper =)
