Had a note from K~ today. The contents were simple: I love you. I miss you. I'm sorry.
She remembered that today was the anniversary of the tragedy which was Apollo 1. This year, Apollo 1 has a special meaning to me. Not merely because I've been to Kennedy Space Center -- so very close to where they spent their last moments -- but because of the realization that tomorrow, I will be exactly as old as Roger Chaffee was when the capsule fire of Apollo 1 killed him. He would have been the youngest person in space.
I caught her on facebook and thanked her. It was touching that regardless of all else that has happened that she'd remember something so important to me.
Some might say too little, too late. And, in a way, maybe it should be. But I've always been a sucker for hope.
I owe you all a longer explanation, but for right now, I'll cut it short and simply say that we've reconciled. In a few short days, she'll be back up here and we'll give things another shot again. No other girl would have remembered that and she's genuinely working on getting a job. I think that we have an actual shot at this.
And maybe this time, things will go right.
