i just wanted to be a good friend...

my good friend Skyler is going on a mission.  he leaves tomorrow morning and is getting set apart at this very moment.  i wrote him a letter to tell him i supported him and thanking him for being such a good friend to me.  i even included my favorite quote.  the plan was to just drop it off for him to read whenever.  that's not how it happened.  he was saying bye to Jayne when i showed up... i feel soooo bad.  i should have just went back home and mailed it to him.... i really hope he forgets it ever happened. 

it also made me think of the last moments i'll have with Tyler before he leaves.  just thinking about it makes me cry... i don't want to know what i'll be like when it actually happens.  but there is not one part of my that doesn't want him to go.  which i am so happy for.  and i know there isn't anything anyone can do or say [not even me] to make him stay.  and i am so grateful for that.  he's going to be the best missionary :)

but with Skyler.  i know he will be a great missionary too.  i've seen him dedicate himself to the gospel already and i've seen his love for the gospel.  here's to you Skyler.  you're in my prayers.  i'll see you in two years.
