Decisions I made The Letter
Jack didn't sleep much that night.He tried.He lay down.Closed his eyes.Turned onto his side.Turned back.Nothing worked.Every time he started drifting off, he heard Lela's voice again."I just had fucking emergency surgery on my knee and you want to do this to me?"He winced."I know..."He whispered into the darkness."I know."He had apologized.He had called.He had texted.But none of it felt like enough.At 2:17 a.m., he finally sat up.He turned on the small lamp beside his bunk.His roommate was asleep.Jack reached into his duffel bag and pulled out a notebook.He stared at the blank page.A text message wasn't enough.A phone call wasn't enough.He needed her to have something she could hold.Something that couldn't be misunderstood.He uncapped his pen.And began writing.Lela,I don't know if you're ready to hear from me yet.Honestly, I wouldn't blame you if you weren't.But I need to tell you something anyway.I'm sorry.Not the quick "I'm sorry" I said on the phone
Decisions I made The Worst Possible Joke
Lela had only been home for a few hours.Her knee was wrapped heavily, immobilized, and propped on a mountain of pillows Pamela had arranged around her.An ice pack rested over the dressing.Pain medication sat on the nightstand beside a glass of water.Her entire body felt exhausted.But sleep wouldn't come.She stared at the ceiling, thinking about everything that had happened.The fall.The hospital.The MRI.The surgeon telling her she needed emergency surgery.The operating room.Waking up groggy and confused.And now...Home.Again.She reached for the little notebook Jack had given her.She opened it to the first page.If I can't call you, write me. If I can't answer right away, keep writing anyway. I'll read every word.She smiled sadly."Where are you, Jack?"She closed her eyes.Then her phone rang.Lela's heart jumped.Jack.She immediately reached for the phone."Hello?"His voice came through the speaker."Heyyyyy..."Lela immediately noticed something.He sounded strange
Decisions I made When Everything Fell Apart Again
Three weeks.Twenty-three days, to be exact.That was how long it had been since Lela had heard Jack's voice.She understood why.AIT was demanding.His letters still arrived every few days, each one dated a week or more before it reached her mailbox.He wrote about anatomy classes.Medical scenarios.Long days.Early mornings.Field exercises.Every letter ended the same way.I love you.I'm counting the days until I see you again.But there hadn't been another phone call.Not because he didn't want to call.Because he simply hadn't been given the opportunity.Lela reminded herself of that every morning.And every night.Still...There were moments when doubt crept quietly into her thoughts."Maybe he's too busy.""Maybe things changed."Then she'd open another letter.And his familiar handwriting would push those fears away.At least for a while.Saturday morning dawned cool and clear.The first hints of autumn painted the trees in shades of orange and gold.Lela tied her running sh
Decisions I made Thirty Minutes
"Lela..."Jack smiled as he leaned against the wall outside the barracks."I've been waiting four days to hear your voice."Lela laughed through happy tears."I've been waiting four days for this phone to ring.""You've been crying."She smiled."Maybe a little.""A little?""Okay..."She laughed."A lot."Jack closed his eyes."I'm sorry.""No."She shook her head even though he couldn't see her."Don't apologize.""I'm proud of you.""I just miss you.""I miss you too.""So much."They both fell quiet for a second.Neither wanted to waste a single minute."So..." Lela asked."How is it?"Jack looked around the hallway."It's strange.""Strange how?""I forgot how organized everything is.""When somebody says formation is at 0500...""They mean 0500."Lela laughed."Sounds like the Army.""It does.""And my body remembers everything.""Even if my knees don't."She laughed harder."Your knees?""I'm getting old.""Oh please.""You're thirty.""I feel eighty."She smiled."I bet Dad wo
Decisions I made Letters and Late Nights
The house felt quieter than Lela remembered.Not empty.Just... missing something.When Frank pulled into the driveway, Lela looked at the front porch where Jack had stood just hours earlier.It was strange how quickly life could change.One minute he was sitting beside her in the truck, joking about ditches.The next...He was behind the gates of Fort Sam Houston beginning an entirely different chapter.Pamela unlocked the front door."Why don't I make some tea?"Lela smiled weakly."I think I'm just going to go upstairs for a little while."Pamela nodded."Okay.""If you need anything...""I know."Lela climbed the stairs slowly.She closed her bedroom door and sat on the edge of her bed.The silence felt enormous.She reached for her phone.No new messages.She laughed quietly to herself."He's probably still in-processing.""He's not ignoring you."She knew that.But knowing something and feeling it were two different things.She lay back against her pillows.For the first time in
Decisions I made Goodbye for Now
Lela didn't sleep.She lay awake staring at the ceiling, the little notebook Jack had given her resting on the pillow beside her.She had read the first page so many times she had almost memorized it.If I can't call you, write me. If I can't answer right away, keep writing anyway. I'll read every word.She traced the words with her fingertips."I hope you mean that," she whispered into the darkness.Downstairs, she heard Frank making coffee.It was only 4:15 in the morning.No one in the house had really slept.Across town, Jack stood in his bedroom surrounded by two duffel bags.One contained uniforms, boots, and paperwork.The other held the ordinary things that made a place feel like home.Photographs of Monica.A picture of him and Lela taken at Hotel Hershey.A small stuffed dinosaur Monica had insisted he take "so Daddy isn't lonely."His mother quietly appeared in the doorway."You packed?"Jack nodded."I think so."She smiled."You've checked those bags six times.""I know."
Decisions I made Questions
"Where is Jack taking you for dinner?" Mom asked as we walked toward the mall entrance.I smiled."Pier W."Mom stopped so fast I nearly walked right into her."What?"I laughed."Pier W."She just stood there staring at me."The Pier W?""Yes, Mom."For a moment she didn't say anything.Then she g
Decisions I made Shopping
Friday morning arrived much earlier than I would have liked.My alarm went off at six, and for a few seconds I just lay there staring at the ceiling.The events of the night before slowly came back to me.Dinner with Mom and Dad.The interrogation.The shopping trip I had somehow been volunteered f
Decisions I made Dinner with my parents
"Okay," Dad said as he leaned back in his chair. "Let's talk about this Jack guy."I groaned."Do we have to?""Absolutely."Mom laughed."We definitely have to."I shook my head."There's really not much to tell."Dad pointed at me."Start with what you know."I thought about it for a moment."Wel
Decisions I made Thursday Night
Thursday nights were usually predictable. Chris would have another dinner meeting with clients, another networking event, or another reason he couldn't be home. Over the years, I had stopped asking questions. Sometimes the meetings were legitimate, sometimes they weren't, and sometimes I simply did
