A sort of backdrop of sadness, loss as a year passes.
And you got a phone call today! From Sweetwater Sound.
I am sure the guy didn't know why I was quiet. Your sister is doing well, all things considered. She is throwing her muscle behind her academics, coming up with high achievement.
Your baby sisters still ask about you, the answers are never very easy. I wish you were adjusting to a dorm room, counting your scholarship money, and feeling the achievement that college can bring (as well as Friday nights in the library).
Ugh, I am sure you are someplace easier than where you were the night you left, but you are missed.
