Finally, it is April! Which means that Don will graduate in one month! Wahoo! I am so proud of him, & am obviously so anxious to be back with him! I’ve continued receiving letters from Don about…once a week. Sometimes, I get more than one letter at once, which feels like Christmas!! I read them over & over! He is doing really well in the Mountain Phase right now, being fed...
