Update on Reed

Reed is in his third week of Marine bootcamp. Only 10 more weeks to go before he finishes and we get to see him on family day at his graduation. So far, we haven't been able to speak to him on the phone and our only correspondence is through letters. In this day and age of e-mail, blogging and texting we'd almost forgotten how to write real live letters. Danny and I are so proud of his courage, determination and the strength he has shown. He is leading a Bible study for his group and during his one and only hour a day of free time he is reading his Bible and writing letters to his family. He sent me a homemade happy mother's day card and I couldn't have been more touched by any gift. We are looking forward to our trip in July to Parris Island, South Carolina, to see our Marine!
