i remember the first time that i met him...
it was summer time and i was 9. walking down the street with my friend bet, we watched as the house on the corner was filled with furniture and boxes, and watched as the two new kids on the block explored their new house and yard. i didn't see much of the kids aside from the few times they rode their bikes or walked their dog past my house. one was a boy my age and the other a girl closer to my sister's age. summer ended and the school year began and on the first day i walked to the bus stop with my sister to see the new kids with bet and the other kids who were usually at the stop. when i walked up the boy introduced himself as william or will and i introduced myself. the next words out of his mouth were as unexpected as they come. "i'm going to marry you caitlin woodruff. i want you to be my wife."
now all these years later, will and i have stayed in touch and he hasn't forgotten about his vow to make me his wife. i still laugh about it and think "oh sure" but the truth is that will has a special place in my heart and always will. that's why tomorrow will be a sad day for me. tomorrow will is being deployed and will be on his way to iraq. i wish him all the best and made him promise me that he would be safe. i'm proud though too, that someone like will is out serving our country. deep down, i love my airforce friend... <3
