Dad's Utah Marine Platoon reunion is today. Dad wishes he could go. He went about seven years ago and loved seeing the faces of the men he knew all those years ago.Yesterday Dad's drill sergeant, Bill Robinson, drove up from New Mexico for the reunion. He heard Dad was sick so he and his wife stopped by the house to see him.
It was such a treat for us to meet him also. He told us some fun stories and Dad was awake and alert so they had a good visit.
He asked if there were a message Dad would like to send to the rest of the Platoon at the reunion. Dad told him to tell them that he loves them.
After we got Dad all settled into his new room upstairs, and after all the visitors left, he slept all day and all night but is awake now and eating lunch.
It's so nice for him to have the sun shining through the window and Mom has been busy organizing the new room, gardening in the front yard and keeping April's house clean.
