Dear Meredith Meredith, Remember when our lives took parallel curves back in August? And the things we did for [love, or something] that threw us into that place? And when you brought me a silver bracelet back from Spain & hugged me? How there's never been enough time, but I love you always so much. Our lives are all throwing parallels again, and I refuse to let them dip down into that black tar pit of August again. Icarus would have been smarter the second time around, & we just learn & learn. I love you so so much. .me.
dearest you we take parallel curves quite frequently. if you only yours would curve towards illinois.

you are an absolute darling...I hope all is thick and consoling in the illinois state.
my sister yells at me at 3 am, and did you know there are so many things I don't remember.
