Yesterday afternoon I received a wonderful surprise phone call from Mark. Man, was it wonderful to hear his voice! He started with "Hey baby, its me!" and oddly enough I had to take a minute to think of who was calling. I'm just not used to phone calls and hearing his voice!
He has been feeling much better over the last few days and all signs of the previous sickness is gone. His room mates have all moved out as well. One guy Mark was not to fond of since the random stranger moved his bed when he wasn't around from the bottom bunk to the top. So he is happy to be back on the bottom bunk! In addition, he also got to say farewell to the kid who didn't wake up to his alarm clock any time it went off. So he is back to having some peace and quiet in his room when he wants it.
Our conversation was not too long since he had family he wanted to call as well and their phone call time is limited to a half hour due to the limited amount of phones on post. It was plenty of enough time to take a sigh of relief, smile and enjoy hearing his voice, and know that he has high morale and is safe.
Love,
Angie

On a warm night in June, at 1AM I dropped Mark off at Fort Lewis. That was our final good bye and though it was filled with tears and was very difficult, we made it. His deployment to Afghanistan will be about a year in length. On the blog, I'll post e-mail updates from him as I hear from him to keep everyone up to date on all the information I receive. Thank you for all of the love and support through this process. I am so grateful.
