To the friend who is going away:

I know we've only been friends for a little over a year, we have never met face-to-face, and we are are in two different states and time zones, but I am happy to call you one of my best friends. I know you are leaving really soon and will be gone for two years.

I am going to miss are random Skyping which mostly involved me talking and you playing with you rubrics cube or sorting you Magic cards but they were fun we had some funny moments and then there were some serious ones. You are the friend, when we met I'm not sure why but I could just open up to and tell you anything. I am also going to miss being able to message you on Facebook, always joking around or when I would say something you would reply with "hmmm" just to confuse me, just to state you were thinking even if you were thinking about nothing.

I feel like in the two years you are off the grid a lot is going to change. I hope things don't change between us, and I will be waiting for a letter. But I know it's for the best. You are going to do good things for yourself and others. You are going to be touching and bettering people's lives with the work you will be doing over the years.

P.S Just remember to show up in every moment like you're meant to be there.

You Friend,

Laura Wright
