my little sister left for marine corp boot camp today. i'm going to miss her terribly- something awful. the random phone calls or text messages. even our little tifs. she means so much to me and i'm not going to get to see her or hear her voice for the next 13 weeks. i intend to write her at least one letter per week, starting next week. 

she stays in a hotel tonight and buses down to parris island, sc tomorrow morning. i'm so proud of her and i want her to succeed in all she puts her mind to.
