I know fear again; that heavy rock has once more found an unsteady refuge at my core. I wonder if Gabe"s moved so far away that he"ll be hard to find, but my real fear is that he"s left to serve his country and may be lost forever. I don"t have Gabe to help me in my search this time, but I do have an even greater reason to be successful.
I don"t know if Gabe left me his gift because he thought he might forget me, or because he was sure I"d forget him.
I"ll know when I find him.
