Zach left on October 12, 2010 and today is Sunday, October 24, 2010. We haven't heard a word yet from Zach. It has been the longest 13 days of my life. It is my fervent hope that we will get a letter tomorrow.
I've had so many memories of my experience in the Marines flash through my head over the last two weeks. I am reliving that time in my dreams at night and in waking dreams in the morning. I remembered how I used to not go on liberty until AFTER the first mail call had been delivered. I remember coming back to the ship to see what mail had come. This even in the most exotic and wonderful liberty ports that I had the privilege of visiting. I still wanted to touch home and be in contact with my family and friends. I suspect that Zach will be much the same.
