Tears In June

Justin and I continued to write every now and then over the months. In May he sent me a short note letting me know he had been transfered from Kern Valley to San Lois Obispo. In June I went on vacation to North Carolina and upon my return there was an large envelope waiting for me. Enclosed was a beautiful cross in the memory of my nephew Brett. It was so sweet. I will never forget opening up one of the most special pieces of mail I had ever received! It was a very sweet Happy Birthday card! I remember laying on the couch with tears rolling down my face. This young man had remembered my birthday and took the time to send me a card to let me know! My own husband didn't even get me a card! This simple act of kindness meant so much to me! I knew at that moment there was something very different about this young man. He was caring, kind, smart, funny, thoughtful and very real!
