THE JOURNALS…Letters from Home

Dear Sara,

I really don’t know what I was thinking when I said, I didn’t want to move with you. No, I take that back, I was thinking you were moving to Newark, NJ and I didn’t think anyone was worth that much. Kidding. Anyway, what I am trying to say, is if you get based in Denver I’d like to come. Kidding. I would like to move where ever you will be.

I think I was overwhelmed with excitement for you and your new adventure that I didn’t take the time to really think what that meant for me. It hit me hard this last time at the airport. Once you were on the plane and I was alone. Please, say you want to work this out. I will do anything. I love you.

Tim

Hey Sae-Sae!

It must feel good to be a BRAIN!!!! Just like the old days when you were in grade school. You always loved school soooo much! I’m glad you like it again. My little writer up in airplanes, who’d a thunk it? Funny, you were the one that always talked about being a writer, and here’s Jenbug writing stories. I know there’s still a writer in there just aching to come out. I’m sure she will when the time is write!

I hope your drills go well tomorrow, as I am sure they will. I read this quote, I think it applies to you girls: “It’s alright to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.” Cool, huh?

Love, love, and more love,

Your Mom

*Note to younger self: Tim didn’t move with you and although it took a long time you do resume your friendship and are close to this day.

    I'm enjoying this series of posts very much!

    I'm glad you and tim are still friends but I'm guessing you are still "the one who got away".

    Have a great week.
