My friend Steph
My cousin and best friend Steph(19) just informed me that her husband Ben joined the military in early December. I knew they had been discussing it for a while, but figured it wasn’t an immediate threat.
Steph and I have always been best friends, even when we were little. She was so adorable and innocent. Her family was mormon and somewhat conservative. Her sister is a complete and utter moron. And she was home schooled because of being teased in middle school. So she was never exposed to the crazyness of highschool.
I took it upon myself to open her up to various things. Even when she was 13, I’d take her out with me and my 18 year old friends. I’d never let her get into trouble, obviously, but to at least give her some freedom. I guess she was a lot like another younger sister.
She just recently moved to Pennsylvania, which is about an hour drive from here, really not that bad. I see her very little, compared to when she had lived 5 minutes away. And it’s very sad. I miss her like crazy.
When I heard she would be moving to wherever Ben is stationed, I cried. Actually I’m still kind of crying. I’m happy that she is happy with Ben, and there have been times where I’ve felt left out while she moves on with her own life. But I am happy for her.
It tears me up inside to think she’ll be moving so far away. And it scares me to death that she might actually enjoy living elsewhere and I’ll get to see her maybe during the holidays. That’s no way to have a relationship. And I am so sick of long distances ones.
I still have plenty of friends around, but it just wouldn’t be the same. Not without Steph. Heh, maybe when I become famous I can fly out to see her as often as I want 
Jesus, I’m losing all of my friends, I’m losing CLG, I have no money to even live, and I’m still waiting for my job. Could something else PLEASE go wrong?

am in the right site.
New look. Nice one too =)
Don’t worry. It’s too early to panic. I think you should rather concentrate on the idea that she would be happy or be happier even.

I know, it’s just one of those things you have to deal with growing up. Either moving away from everything you know, or having everything you know move away
