Waukegan Calling
Sunday morning the phone rings I thought it was one of my friends whose mom had passed away she had called the night before upset. So I thought she may have needed to talk more. But when I looked at my phone it showed the phone number and the place of the call. It was Waukegan IL. It was my son. I was thrilled. He said mom did you get my letter? I had not checked the mail yesterday and now wished I had. So I said no. He said ok I sent you a letter, telling you the date of my graduation and other things but I didn't get to finish what I wanted to say so can you make sure to give my address to my brother. So I'm think great the letter is going to tell me about his trip to get there and what he has been doing the first few days there. I ask can this phone call be longer, he says yes. So I asked him how boot camp training is, he says he has not started training but that he has been processing, so I ask what is that, he says it's eye exams, dental exams and some sort of lessons. I asked has he had a headache, he says yes but it went away. He said it was cold there, but they gave him a parka, a raincoat and some sweats. I asked did they give you underwear, he says yes. He then says he has to go and I tell him I love him and he says the same. This call lasted 4 minutes which was longer than the last 44 second phone call.
