Dear Silent Friend,

Oh, oh, oh, I am so sorry! Did you think I’d forgotten all about you? I put you in the zippered side pocket of my luggage when I went to Bob and Marti’s over Easter vacation and when I got home, I forgot to take you out. I thought I’d left you at their house, so I called Uncle Bob and asked him to look for you and he said you weren’t there.

Then I thought I left you in Todd’s VW van, Gus. Now there’s a frightening thought! But when he came down a few weeks ago I cleaned that filthy van for him just in hopes of finding you, and you weren’t there! I won’t gross you out by telling you all the other things I found there!

I thought I’d lost you for good. I cleaned my room top to bottom twice in search of you. Please believe me when I say I was desperately sorrowful for having lost you. I felt as if a piece of my heart had been cut out and thrown away! I thought you were lost forever!

It’s been months since I zipped you away in that side pouch. At least you were dry and warm there. I haven’t used that bag since then. Until today. It’s the middle of the summer and I’m gathering my things to go to Bob and Marti’s for the wedding of the decade (Tracy and Doug’s, of course). And that’s how I found you. I pulled the bag from the storage area and when I did, I felt your edges through the side pocket. Were you trying to send me an SOS? You poor thing. I promise to never abandon you like that again.

Of course, I can’t possibly catch you up on all that’s happened since Easter in one little conversation, but let me tell you the most important news. I received a letter from a school in Switzerland and I was accepted. Yes, Switzerland! I applied months and months ago when Todd was long gone and I didn’t know where he was. I wasn’t accepted then and so I pretty much forgot about the school. They offer work experience at an orphanage in Basel, Switzerland, so with the work experience combined with classes, it makes for quick course work.

Last semester I took 17 units and that was almost too much while working full time and helping in the nursery at church. Then Todd came home and I suddenly had a social life again and 17 units was definitely too much.

If I go to Switzerland, I’ll be gone at least six months. My parents are all for it since it’s apparently an honor to be accepted to this school. But I don’t know if I want to go. I heard my mom talking to Marti about it and I’m sure Marti was all for it.

I’ll see Marti in three days. I’ll see Todd then, too. This is a decision that needs a lot of prayer. As
