So I finally looked in the box. Rather than read the letters addressed to her, I rooted around and found some other letters from friendships past.

I find a few from my good friend Akeshia. She loved Sweden before I even knew where it was. I received a few postcards from her study abroad year.

There's one from Rob exhorting me to get out of town. Funny that one.

There's also a few from Simon. I wonder if he's dead now and his magisterial poetry lives on.

I wish I knew where they all were now. I lost touch with them so long ago. On the placemats in chinese restaurants, the chinese zodiac description of the boar says that I'll have life long friends. They say horoscopes are phony and filled with descriptions that'll apply to almost anyone. This is one I wish it did.
