I was just on my way out the door when I heard "blip, blip" on Dan's computer. "Are you there Dad?" was the Skype message I saw. Bob was on a computer in the Rec center! We chatted for the 20 minutes of time he is given, and he seems to be doing great! He still does not have an Internet connection but he and his two roommates are working on it. Hopefully within the next two weeks he will be able to video Skype with us.He is working 12 hour shifts from 12:00 am to 12:00 pm and works 6 days a week. In his off time he watches DVD's and is reading this book. Have any of you heard of this one? He said that it was 100 degrees today but doesn't think it is as humid as it is here in Omaha, so I guess that is a good thing. He finally has a mailing address and when I asked what I should send he said "DVD's!" If you would like to send him something please contact me and I will send his address via email.
It was great to hear from him even if it was just a text chat. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers for Bob as well as for all those who serve our country!
I would like Bob's address. I haven't heard of the book that he is reading but now I'm on the lookout for it. I'm catching up on the blog posts....and reading forward. It will be good when he can Skype in and you can "see him" and bring him closer.
