Dear MORON in Florida, thanks a lot
I got to talk to Jeromey more this last week than in the previous weeks. Of course it is never enough but it truly is great to hear his voice. He has been busy busy busy. He has still not received ANY mail that has been sent to him. As of right now, I doubt he will get anything before his birthday which is Friday. Thanks to the moron in Florida who decided to burn the Quran, there has been protests and violence in Afghanistan. For this reason, there are certain security measures in place that I believe will prevent any mail from being delivered to Jeromey anytime soon. I hope that changes before Friday, but we will have to wait and see. He has been able to get on Facebook a couple of times so we have had the chance to chat online. He did say there was no skype on the computer and I wasn't sure if he could download it since it wasn't his computer. It would be nice to be able to actually SEE him but I think I might have to wait a while for that. I think of Jeromey everyday, but there are things that make me miss him a little extra. The other day, I had Austin and Hunter and they were talking about age and birthdays. Austin asked how old dad was and I said "He'll be turning 31 soon". I realized that Jeromey's birthday was only six days away. It made me really sad because I realized he has no one to celebrate his birthday with. :( I mean, he has fellow soldiers, and I'm sure they have established friendships. How do they know when his birthday is? He did tell me that he's been asked but he isn't telling. Why not? I asked him to PLEASE tell them, for me. If there is the slightest chance that they will make that day a little special for him, then I want them to know when it is! Unfortunetly I don't know anyone he is with or I would tell him myself. All of the soldiers I know that went over with him are at different locations. I also thought of him last night as the storm started. Jeromey LOVES a good storm. The worse the weather the happier he is. I'm sure he is really missing the rain where he is. He really isn't needing much over there right now, but his mom and I agreed that we need to start sending stuff he will need in case he doesn't have the opportunity to buy it when he is out. He mentioned that the truck that comes with supplies showed up with basically tobacco and baby wipes. So he didn't really have an opportunity to buy anything else. I don't have much else to update on Jeromey. A lot of the same in our phone calls. Just trying to make them count and hating to say goodbye at the end.
