DAY 14: SOMEONE YOU'VE DRIFTED AWAY FROM

Okay, this is creepy-good timing because he graduated from basic training today! CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL!

Michael Dean
From the time that I came up to you and asked you if I could touch your hair, to the day I texted you good luck in training we've had a weird relationship.
Even through all that, though, we were always friends. We've had some crazy times, like when I almost killed you and Sarah when I went vertical on the 4-wheeler or when Sarah and I had our friend Harley come up to you before you knew who she was and had her ask if she could take your picture. It's weird to think that a few years ago we were doing things like that, and now you're off fighting for our country. I know you're doing awesome,
and I know that the USA is lucky to have someone like you wanting to fight for us.
I still have all of our notes from freshman year in a box. My GOD we talked a lot. Thanks for always making sure to put your friends before you. You were always the one who had a good head on his shoulders when I wanted to do something I shouldn't. (Literally.. there's a note that says "Marybeth. DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID!") I think you know what letter I'm referring to... or at least the time period. You always had my best interest at heart, and now you're doing that for the whole country.
I know you're doing great, and I hope you know that everyone here at home is so proud of you for what you're doing. MISS YOU SO MUCH.

Love, Mb
