Could have not come at a better time!
Just last night I poured my heart and soul into the most depressed piece of work I have ever written and had a bit of the case of sleep deprivation. But au contraire, today seems to be a bit better. I come home to find a letter from my sailor today! I read online that the first letter is mostly a bunch of information about what division they are in and their address. And supposedly a SMALL area for them to write a few sentences. I was hoping this was not the case, but in fact it was. He wrote a few short lines and the rest of the paperwork was information pertaining to Graduation dates, lodging information, his address to I can write and that’s pretty much it. Here is his note:
Like I said….Very short. I also read they tell them what to write as well. And by the looks of this letter, I kind of agree. This letter does not sound like him. I read that the letters to follow will be much better and all their own words. Now that I have his address already packed up his first letter. I went to Walgreens and found a greeting card that came with a pre-paid envelope so I thought it was perfect. I took my 20 pages that I had already written along with the greeting card, photo and a few newspaper clippings (local news, sports, comics) I just hope he does not get in trouble because the envelope is pretty thick and I read that if it is, they will look through it and make sure there is no “contraband” and I am worried they will consider the comics “contraband” But oh well, I will take the chance.
I also received “The box” in a few nights ago and wanted to post A.S.A.P but could not figure out how to post the stinkin video on here (yeah I took a video), but I figured it out and will add it right after this post.
.I can breath a little.
