I cried for an hour strait.
I have this box, sort of like a hope chest. I have all my notes and birthday cards and pictures in it.
There is this letter, from Ashlyn. She wrote it to me last summer, on the last day that I was there. She made me promise not to read it until I had left; so I didn't.
Everytime I'm missing home, I look through that box. Picture by picture, letter by letter.
I stared at that letter for an hour last night. That, and a picture of me and Ash from christmas.
It was a relief, to be honest.
