"Write down this emergency number. I can't call again until Friday. I want you to know I'm here, I'm safe, and I love you."
Then he was gone.
This is the phone call I received about 2 hours ago.

He left today with us thinking he would not be able to call until Friday on his way home (he has to drive the nearly 5 hours back home every Friday night and then back to the Academy on Sunday).
A friend that was at the same Academy recently, said that his class did well enough that they had about 10 mins total to get to their cars, make their calls, and then be back to wherever they were. That happened mid-week. We were hopeful that this might be the case this time.
I almost think this phone call might have been harder than not talking to him at all. Before I at least had the hope that he might call mid-week, but now I know he will not.
I guess that just makes Friday even better... Right?
