Over my time in Michigan I have come to accept the loss of Danny. I know he is in a better place. My parents are glad I came, they told me I sound like a different person when I talked to them on the phone the other night.

I’ve realized that if we wait until we’re ready we’ll be waiting the rest of our lives. That’s why I talked to Olivia before she left for her flight. I just had to tell her I wanted to keep in touch and that I want to be more than just friends.  When I said that her face lit up. I am so thankful she felt the same way. Long distance isn’t easy, but I know that we can make it work. We’ve already planned a skype date when I get back to Maine.
