Letter #1

Dear Ovid,

I'm not going to bother with the "Hey! How are you?"s because it seems like that is all we ever do when we talk wall to wall on Facebook. Of course I wonder how you are and its such a relief to hear that you're not dead every time you write on my wall. But these letters are different. Not only do I want to know how you are doing (automatic response: GOOD) but what you are doing. You never really answered my question you know about how you were trying to raise $2,000 to get a car and how you were still looking for a place to live when you went to college and all of those girl troubles you had. Of course you told me all that back in September, so it'd be good to have an update. But I'm assuming that you're alright and that you found a way to get to school and a place to stay.
I'm sending you a big hug because I'm also kinda dealing with those issues for this upcoming semester at my college. What dorm room am I going to live in? When can I move in? How am I going to pay for gas to get home for the holidays? Boy problems. Ugh Gross. But its kinda funny, here at school I walk everywhere like you do and I feel a little closer to you even though you aren't here. I also think of you every time someone talks about One Tree Hill or whenever I see the clock zeroed out like 12:00pm etc. Do you remember when you told me that it meant that someone loves you? I'd like to think that. Here we say if the clasp of your necklace touches your pendant that someone loves you, but I believe you're clock more than I believe that.
If only you were here! There is so much I would tell you and that I would ask you about. Its hard to know how things are with such a limited connection. But I pray that you are doing well and that God is taking care of you!

Love & Peace!
