something memorable

The day Colton left for bootcamp I laid in my bed and cried. I went through his things and looked for shirts that still smelled like him. When I rested my head on his pillow I felt something in the pillowcase, pulled it out, and realized it was a goodbye note from him. I think I ended up throwing that note away out of anger on one of my real bad days.

Anyway, so I'm sobbing and listening to Jack Johnson (I never listen to that guy) and I accidentally and unknowingly called Corrie. She said it was one of the saddest things she has ever heard. I didn't see him for five months after that day and I only got to hear his voice three times during this period. It was really fucking rough. God, I'm so glad that's over.
