A few of my other favorite things…
Posted on April 17th, 2007 In my own particular idiom Claire
I LOVE hearing the instant message noise on my computer. It means that Mike is logged on and I get to chat with him. Often times we get dropped. The signal in his tent is not too strong, but regardless it just feels so nice to connect. He lived in WA state for a year before his deployment, and I didn’t get to see him often. It was just different though. If I wanted to talk with him I could just pick the phone up and chat with him or leave him a message. The other day I dialed his number by mistake — maybe it was a Freudian slip, who knows? Anyway, I heard the song that plays in lieu of a ring on his number and it made me sad. Here is a stanza from the song he has on his phone to replace the ringing: (Plain White T’s)
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This ones for you
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This ones for you
Oh boy. What I wouldn’t do to give him a hug and make his favorite meal tonight. I love you Mike.
Aww mom, I miss and love you too. FYI, address has changed and as soon as I can get back online I’ll send it to you.
The internet in our tents has been replaced with AT&T Wataniya Pay For Wireless. So no more free internet for us, AT&T decided that was too much giving on their part.
Well crud! I guess I will just have to catch you when I can. Definitely send the address when you can. I have some stuff to send to you. Love you… stay safe, and just be your good, hard working self. :)
