I don’t know how to write these things; how to make sense of things myself, much less make sense of it for other people. It’s been more than two weeks since Casey and I last spent a night together, our bodies hugged close. It’s been more than one week since I’ve seen him. I don’t want to ever be apart this long again.

For the sake of something not-so-serious, here’s a photo I just found of the softball team I played with in Milwaukee this past Labor Day. We earned third place, but my favorite thing about this team is the name….
