FOB Smart at 2305 - Monday
This day has been long, although not boring at all, and I am happy for the sweet release of sleep to be upon me once again. My beautiful son sounded so wonderful when we spoke a few hours ago when he was on his way to school. He offered "I love you," to me several times. What an incredible four years he has already given me.
I am exhausted and feel, believe this for certain, again ready for my next R&R, which will begin in about 52 more days. Many around me are also taking their R&Rs, or will soon. I am so incredibly happy for them, as I know how good it feels to be back in places familiar to us. Working here really means you earn your time home with loved ones.
I met with the governor of Zabul Province last night and again this morning. I also met with nearly all of his line ministers this morning and negotiated assistance in certain of our pending projects close to FOB Smart. It feels rewarding to connect and successfully complete business with people - especially here. Tomorrow will be another day quite similar to the last 162 days and I am ready for Day 164 as with all of the rest.
Sweet dreams you fellow few whom I have grown to respect more than you'll ever know. Cheery day you many whom I call my family and friends back home.
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
