Hey! I miss you already and you haven't even been gone a whole day. I don't know that I can do this Nathan. I really don't. I didn't think it would be this hard. It wasn't the past two years. But you're a part of me now, a part of me I don't ever want to let go of. Ugh... I don't know anymore Nathan. I don't want you to regret what you're doing. I don't want you to worry about me. I'll be fine, really. I hope you're enjoying yourself. More than anything, I just want you to be happy.
I'm going out with Brooke and Peyton tonight. We're heading over to Tim's graduation party. Karen's going to watch Alex so we can all go to the party together. They're breaking me out of my shell, Nate. They really are. I guess that's not a bad thing, right? Lucas took me out to lunch to get my mind off your leaving. It helped. He brought Alex along. It's amazing how fast that little guy is growing up, you know. It seems like just yesterday we were sitting in that waiting room, listening to Brooke screaming her head off. I was thinking maybe we could get him one of those little motorized Army Jeeps for his birthday this year. You know how much he loves all that army stuff. Who wouldn't though, with you as their uncle?
I'm staying in the apartment. I know I hadn't decided when you'd first left, but I know now. Here is where I want to be. All your stuff is here and I can't exactly go home now, you know. It would just be too hard. Especially since my parents don't have the faintest idea that I'm married now. Well, the phone's ringing. It's probably Brooke with a clothing crisis, so I'll write to you again soon.
XOXOXO, Hales

Dear Son,
Well, it's almost June. Hopefully you're still stationed in the barracks and aren't out in the field yet. Otherwise, it could be a while before you see this letter. Dad and I are settled into the new house, hoping to make a new start. So far, the neighborhood is great. All the people are friendly and we fit in well. I haven't seen Haley at all but I've been told that she's been spending her time at your apartment, working at Karen's Café for the summer before she heads to Chapel Hill.
I heard the weather is gorgeous in Kings Bay. Hopefully once you've gotten into a routine with the work, Dad and I can come down to visit. Have you met some friends? Well, Nathan, I'm not going to keep you. Write to me when you have a chance. The new address is: 258 Pinewood Ave, Johnsonville, NC 22851.
I Love You! Mom.
