Today was the last time I was able to see my husband for the next little while. I got to see him for a total of 15 minute before they made us leave. I don't think things have really hit me yet. I am doing good so far, but Luke had a problem tonight. After we read scriptures and I was saying our night prayers, Luke kept saying Dad, Dad, Dad through the whole prayer. I made sure we blessed Daddy extra good tonight. Things seemed to be going good when I put him down to bed, and then he realized Dad was not around again to help cover him up and give kisses. Night 2 of no Dad did not go so well. I am hoping when we go to California tomorrow for the next 2 weeks it will help keep Luke from missing his Dad so much, and things will be easier for me. Let me tell you, it was not easy hearing my child cry for his Dad tonight! What makes it hard, is knowing he does not understand what is going on, and where his Dad is.

Autumn,
When Richard left for basic training, Jefferson went through the same thing, I wish I had miracle advice, but just love your little guy so much and make sure he knows that his daddy loves him (which I am sure you do)... Help him send letters and pictures, and while it will be difficult, you guys will make it through!! Keep in touch, our blog is thegreathuntfamily.blogspot.com ... by the way what is Keith going in for?
With love,
Brandi (kelland) Hunt

I'm sorry to hear about Luke. What a great sacrifice your family is making. I'll be praying for you and your family. It was great to spend that afternoon in the temple. I hope that you and Luke will adjust will her husband is at boot camp. Take care of yourself.
