Another Letter Home

Scott and I both received letters from Blake. They are hard letters to read. Scott's was really emotional. Blake talks to him about the lack of sleep, the awful food, he's beginning to get sick etc. etc. I guess there is red phase, white phase and blue phase. Each phase is suppose to get easier, right now he's in red phase. His letters seem to have him so beat down. My letter, he didn't let me know how beat down and what a difficult time he was having but, as a mother you can read between the lines. I can't imagine the letters that families receive when their loved ones are at war. Because, receiving letters from basic training pulls at your heart strings. I knew I would miss him but, I didn't know how intense it would be. I made our plane reservations for July 30 , July 31 is family day & he graduates on Aug 1. It's going to be a short trip and I hope he will be able to fly home with us. I can't wait to have him back home.
