** Happy Birthday to Mom **

Well, "only three more Sundays," he says. Matt says he misses us. He has a friend and bunk mate that is from Montclair. They want to maintain friendship after Boot with plans to hang out. They want to go get new cell phones and spend a day or so together. He reports a couple other recruits that have bad attitudes and he is having trouble with them and is a little down. But he has been reminded of a song I like that they play at church there and it is encouraging to him. He wrote out the verse:

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call

He says he misses everyone a lot about five times in this letter. He says, "I see myself maturing through this time in life."

He is really counting on going to church as soon as he gets out.

He ends with Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary to me & Dad and says he is sorry he can't be here for it. (The letter arrived today, on my birthday. Our anniversary is next Monday.)

P.S. Don't send any letters after the 19th as it is too close to graduation. I guess he won't get them. :o)
