Today I started planning a fall break trip to Chicago to see one of my sisters, Sara, and stay with her for a few days. I AM SO EXCITED!!

Sleeping until noon, watching HOURS of tv and movies and eating free food. I'm soooooo sad this is my last summer as a "kid."

I always think of him when I go home..

But just as I was pushing him from my mind, I lay down on my bed, and his face peaks out from a nook in my room. A forgotten photo, reminding me I cannot escape him.

I need this to stop, please.
