they train them strongly there. so he had strength, character, he s just so much he s my best friend and my soul mate. and i just can t wait for him to come back. i hope. i hope. i m so sorry for you, danica. it s utterly heart-breaking listening to you talking. i can t even imagine the agony of sitting there with no information, with the whole world speculating. that s all anybody can do. because nobody knows what has happened here. and it s such a freakish situation. and you re right at the sharp end of this. and it can be nobody watching this who isn t feeling as affected as i am by what you re clearly going through. the last contact you had with paul was i think an e-mail that he sent you just before he got
but when they were bringing in they were doing sort of too early. but they had no information. and so every time the phone rings of course my heart jumps out of my chair. still i think is this it? so i did ask i ve spoken with the lady here i m in contact with and said just text me. but i ve been waking up every morning. and of course reporters have been calling and have been nice enough to inform me what s going on. because i can t look it up myself. and so no. look today i ve heard nothing. heard nothing today. so whether there s new information, i don t know. i ve got nothing from them today. nothing. danica, i know that you re clutching the ring that paul left. i also know that as a family you ve survived earthquakes in new zealand and a car accident. you ve had a lot of luck in your lives. you must just be sitting there i guess praying that you get some
he sent you just before he got on the plane, is that right? yes. yeah. he sent one just before he left from perth. we cried when he left. this was a big change for the family. and to be going to fly out, and we d prepared lincoln. paul had gone and bought him a little pad to skype him and a map with where daddy was going to be. and like we said goodbye. of course i burst into tears and so did paul. he s like stop. be strong for lincoln. don t let this affect him. so he sent us a message from there just saying miss you already. and leaving to go off to sakur. you and the boys are my world. i m looking forward. i ll speak to you soon and send another message. anyway, he sent another one from
but you can only do that so long. and in the course i ve got nothing. so i had no phone. i ve got no phone. he had handed back his work phone and was anticipating getting a new phone. and he didn t know what would work in mongolia. he needed to figure all that up and speak with the team over there at transwest. so all that stuff hadn t been set up. so i couldn t even have thought, oh, gosh, just be amazing to try it. but no, he didn t have one with him. and i just don t know anyone else. they did offer for us to go there and be on the ground and get updates. but i just couldn t get on with my two young sons and paul s family, too. we re pacing up and down the house here. at least we re in familiar surroundings. those poor people, i know what they re going through.
what kind of man is paul? he s amazing. he s amazing. he s the most amazing husband and the most amazing father. he s spent just so much time with his kids. he always bathed them every night. he d take lincoln to golf. he d take him to the zoo. lincoln was his little shadow. and of course, jack, he just adored jack. and he was extremely intelligent. and he worked hard. and he just tried to do everything right for his family. all the jobs, everything he does he always thought about us. and he was doing this for the right reason. it was his dream job. and he d worked weeks in time to get up to speed and be there hit the ground running because that s the kind of man he was. he was strong. he s from the army.
