Like I couldn't even believe my own eyes.

I hope you're as smiley as I am tonight.

I really, really love my friends, and the way we have story time on the carpet like six year olds, catching up on the last two years of our lives.

I have missed you, Carter.

Like, held-the-tears-in-until-I-got-home-that-night, missed-you-like-crazy missed you.

Please never leave on a mission, ever again.
