today was Dustin's b-day. I  coodnt email him. I felt so bad. he probably thinks i forgot him (I cood never forget him). I will email him tomorrow. there is so much I have to tell him. I hope he had a good b-day. sure, he coodnt b with family nd frinds, but I hope he made the best of it. it must be hard for him over there in Iraq. I hope he is ok. I really miss him. evrything is all so confusing. his picture is a constant reminder evry day to be all that I can nd give the world my best. its great that he made an influentia, impact on my life.
