Dear Kammy,
I miss you so much. I just had to get that out before anything else. Being in this house without you is not the same. I wish you could be here or I could be wherever you are. I hope that your training is going well.
I got worried when you didn’t call. No one told me you’d be gone this long. I didn’t know how to reach you to find out if you were okay. There were some pretty dark days for me during the last few months, but then Don showed up at the door unexpectedly. I have to say, I’d never been so happy to see a strange man at my door before. I actually hugged him!
He said that you are doing well and that you should be back home sometime in May. I don’t know the exact date, but I’m still counting the days! He said that you’d had some setbacks, mainly due to one annoying kid who won’t let up. I just wanted to tell you that no matter what happens I’m proud of you, and I know Danny would be too. What you’re doing for him is incredibly brave and noble and I know he was very proud to have you as his mother, just as I am proud to call you my best friend.
Don is hovering over me while I write this so I better get going. Please be safe and return home soon!
Cara Bellamy
XOXO
Had he gone all the way to Indiana just to bring me back a letter from Cara? A lump caught in my throat. I tried to swallow, but my mouth was dry. There was no telling what he had been up to while he was away, but I knew he had done this just for me and I was grateful.
I reread the letter a couple times with nothing more than the dim lamp on my nightstand to light the paper. It read like the notes we used to pass back and forth to each other during high school. Life was funny, the way some people changed so drastically while others stayed their same perfect selves. I hoped Cara never changed—never went through the things I went through to make me who I was now.
