So Parker and I survived the first week of Danny being gone. It hasn't been too bad, because Danny has been able to call and or text every day since he has been there. Right now he is in what they call reception and he said they don't really do much. He leaves that part tomorrow and starts Phase I of basic training. I am pretty sure our phone calls and text will be over other than the Sunday call...maybe. I told him to be sure and write me so I will know his address.
He has been pretty home sick since he has been there. They have not been busy at all so he has time to sit around and think... about wanting to come home. He has had some issues with his blood pressure, but the Dr said it wasn't too bad and that he could go on to the training. He has met a guy from Indiana who has become a pretty good friend to him. He has continued to motivate Danny and remind him of why he joined and just tried to keep his head on straight. I like this guy already!
Parker asks about him everyday, but hasn't cried or anything...thank goodness. The first few days when we came home he would walk in the door and say "where my daddy?" He was used to him always being there when we got home. Now he says "Daddy in Okahoma." He told me Sunday night that he wanted to go home and see his daddy. I had to remind him where he was and he seemed ok with that. He has talked to him a few times on the phone. I know he is ready to see him just as I am. It's looking like it will be early April for his graduation! Not sure of the specific date yet. They have a family day the Thursday before and then graduation on Friday. I am so ready for that day!
