The breakup

I was still dating my high school boyfriend, John, when I started college. Did I think it was a forever relationship? Not really. But I really liked him and he was so sweet.

He visited me at college several times. And then, because he was a bit directionless, he decided to head out to California to visit with his brother and figure out what he wanted to do.

Weeks turned into months. We talked all the time. But clearly, not about everything.

Because I got a wedding invitation in the mail a few months later…
