Journal #15

Okay.  So the prompt for this blog is to describe someone you greatly miss and how you stay in touch.  That list of people is very very long for me.  For example, my friend Cassie in Florida, Morgan at Eastern, my Grandpa Upstairs, then of course my two older brothers.  One lives in Texas and the other attends Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri.  All of these people are extremely important to me and I miss their presence in my every day life.  I can't say that I miss any one of them more than the next, but I get to see some of them less than others.  I saw Taylor last Tuesday when I went and visited Ozark on a college visit, and he has informed me he will be home again in the next few weeks, I probably text him and face time him a few times a week.  I'll call him a lot of the time, too, just because.  My friends Cassie goes to college in Florida and really I only get to see her when she comes home at Christmas.  She's studying to be a missionary so is gone to other countries a lot more than the normal lass.  Morgan began going to Eastern this year and I miss her so very much.  She became one of my best friends during the second semester of last year, then of course she graduated.  I should really stop befriending seniors.  They always leave, sadly.  I've seen her a few times since she left, but it's never enough.  She has a long Christmas break, though.  This is a very good thing.  Out of all of these people, my brother Adam I see the least.  He moved to Texas at the end of the summer.  He'd been in Illinois his entire life; he went to high school and college here and was literally beginning to com-bust because he was so antsy living here.  Initially after he left I didn't notice his absence too much.  Of course I missed him, but once school started I was so busy I didn't have too much time to think about much, any who.  Then, about a month into school I realized I missed my brother and I couldn't go and give him hug just because when I got home, I couldn't just talk to him for a few hours about life, I couldn't get help on my homework.  I called him and talked to him for about 2 hours about life and such and since then I email him probably every other day and call him usually once a week.
