This is the closest to home I will ever come...

Writing here, in this journal, is the closest to home that I can come right now. This is the closest to normal as I can be. Everything I do here is in a different setting, a different time, and even my regular rituals have changed to fit where I am. I can't drive the same, walk the same, sleep the same, because I have to adapt. There is something

I completely understand how you guys feel. Completely. I went through it. And you're right, eventually things will feel "normal" there... or as normal as they can be. We all think about you guys constantly... worry a bit because you're in a bigger more crime-ridden city, envy a little bit because you're doing what we want to do... but mostly we just miss you. LeeAnn and I were hanging out today and it seemed that the conversation that we came back to time after time was the subject of you, KT, and Jenah in Chicago. As soon as we can get something worked up Lee and I and anyone else we can drag along will be down there to visit. You are constantly in our thoughts.

Stay strong... there will be hard times ahead. You will miss the place... and the people here will miss you. But pursue your goals, do something great.

Thank you. Its nice to hear that you have been through and adjusted to what I am going through. I look forward to anytime you and anyone else can come down to visit, or anytime me and either of the girls can come up and visit home. I'm glad we're missed just as much as we miss home. Somehow it helps. Thanks.

Ill match you. I love you, I miss you.
call for any reason at all. and if im not here, most likley my mom will be, if she doesnt answer the phone, ask for her, her name is Ellen. She lived in Washington state for eight months, if someone knows how you feel, i think it might just be her. as for me all i can do is tell you i love you. so here i go again.
