Dear Will,
I was telling someone a little bit about you yesterday. I might have made some stuff up! I know you’re laughing at me right now but I had too! I miss you so much sometimes I don’t know what to do. College so far has been great, year two is killing year one. I get sad sometimes knowing you never got this far but then I remember how much you did and how much fun you had. Everyone misses...

Dear William,
I miss you like crazy right now, Will.
We spent last night driving around looking for a party and all I can think about now is how proud you would be of me! I can almost hear you making fun of me for getting tired around 2am.
I honestly can’t stop thinking about you.
Love As Always
Dear Will
Today is two days into 2012 and all I can think about is how you never got to see this. I try to live life like you did; always looking for a good time and making people laugh like you did, but it’s hard. You were one of a kind, special, I knew that from the first minute I knew you. I wish you were here to celebrate with me. I wish a lot of things.
I should call Boss soon, haven’t...

Dear William,
It’s almost Christmas and the street looks so pretty all lit up with everyone’s lights. I’ve been home for about a week now, haven’t done much or seen to many people but, it’s still great to be home. I’ve been applying to internships like crazy, trying to stick around here because I have to take a math class. I wish I could go back to the camp this year but,...
Dear William,
I miss you lots and lots. Every time I get a break around here I start thinking about wild things I should be doing like climbing buildings to sit out on the roof or swimming in the river at night even though “sharks come out at night.”
I keep trying to live like you did but it’s so hard to when all the bullshit piles up. I’m scared of how I’m gonna pay for school and worried about the future...

Hey Will,
I just can’t stop thinking about you! Maybe because it’s so close? I miss you a lot and I think about you every day, but lately I’ve just been seeing you everywhere and thinking about how much fun you’d be having if you were here. You would laugh at all the studying I’ve been doing, you never had to study, lucky boy.
Thanks for the smile, I love looking up and...
Dear Will,
Your birthday’s coming up, I know you’re gonna have a great party, I just wish it was down here.
I don’t know what to do, Will, I need a hug badly! Maybe you could visit me in a dream and help me out? I’m falling and no one is there to help me up. I miss home so much. Why did I come here? Sometimes I think I know but the reason slips from my fingers like water, just out...

Dear William,
I miss you so much. I haven’t gone a single day without thinking about you this week. Every time something happens I glance up at the sky, and can almost here you laughing at me, you always laugh at me. I wish I could talk to you face to face. So much has happened and even though I know you can see everything, I just wish I could get your advice. I haven’t talked to Boss in forever,...

Dear Will,
U2 concert in a couple days!! I am so excited! Boss is back too, but he can’t come to the concert…if i was paying for my own ticket I’d grab up one for him…oh well.
Summer’s nice, just hanging. I bet everyone misses you like crazy. Summer was always your jam. I think of you every day, Will.
I don’t have much to day today. Just that I love and miss you so...

Dear William,
Yesterday I went to the Bronx with C to hang with the brothers at the St. Crispin Friary and to help out with their block party. It was so much fun! The brothers are all cool, young, guys and they are so funny! As soon as we got there we sat down for morning prayer and shared a book with Father Louis. Then we were given jobs. C and I helped carry out frozen and fresh bread first, set up tables,...

Dear Will,
I know I haven’t written you in a long time. So much has happened I don’t know where to start. I miss you like crazy. I’ve been home for a bit now and I’ve had such weird emotions running through me. I know you saw how close it came to us. I’m very lucky to be alive. That’s made me wonder a bunch of things. It is odd to me that I don’t fear death anymore...

Dear Will,
It’s a lot harder to keep my raging mind quiet here. It’s like every crazy thought I have just keeps bursting through, I have no filter. My friends all laugh about that statement with toilet paper and responsibility, so I just laughed with them…it’s better if they think I’m kidding, especially when the topic switches to population growth and more serious stuff. I...
Dear Will,
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve written you but I think of you every day, always. I have been so busy down here, Will. I know you’re up there laughing at how serious I am about this. Everything was always so effortless for you. I’m actually doing really well in my classes, all A’s right now…I’m pretty excited. Little more than a month ‘til summer....

Dear Will,
I miss Bossman so much, Will. I don’t have anyone keeping me humble here! I talked to him two days ago and for the rest of the day I was on top of the world. He makes me so confident, Will, like I can do anything I want. I was so happy to get to talk to him.
Look out for him Will.
I love you

It's the Heart that really matters in the end.
Dear Will,
You know those times when Coach was nice; the times when he would talk and joke around with me and others? Those made it all worth it. All the times he flipped out at us or was just plan mean could be fixed when he was being cool. He is such a hard person to love but we managed to do it. I managed to love him enough to give him so much control over what I my mood and my thoughts and my actions....

Dear Will,
I leave tomorrow, then 10 days of home. It’s gonna be awesome. I haven’t talked to Boss since I don’t even know…I’ll call him when I get back here…
I miss my bestfriend, Will. I don’t know what to do without someone to talk to like that. I know I usually just ask you to watch out for Boss, but maybe you could give a quick look over Huntman, I know...

Dear Will,
Just an hour ago I was reading on the Quad and someone walked over and asked a girl near me if she knew where William was. I looked up like an idiot thinking she was talking about you. It is such a popular name.

Dear Will,
Today I was incredibly stressed out but as I was walking to class I looked up and saw the most beautiful combination of clouds. It was as though I could almost see you sitting up there watching us. I bet you were laughing at how I’m bugging out…
I hung out with Hunt for a bit, it was fun, I don’t know what to think about this though so I’m just gonna see where it goes!...

Dear Will,
Today I was thinking about a quote from the Little Prince when the Prince says to the Pilot that he is giving him the gift of the stars. And because the Prince will be living and laughing on the stars the Pilot gets stars that can laugh, and he will always be reminded of the Prince when he looks at the stars.
Like we are reminded of you.
I miss Boss a lot, but it is enough for me to know he is...

Dear Will,
Today was hard. There was literally nothing to do. Steph and I woke up and walked to Burke for lunch then walked back. It was so boring. I miss home. I miss my friends. Don’t get me wrong, Will, I usually love it here. It’s just that sometimes it feels like everyone else has somewhere to go or something to do and me, what do I have…nothing, that’s what. I just sit around...

Dear Will,
Nothing really interesting has been happening here. I got my new lens in the mail, walked around testing it out and posted a couple pics on Tumblr. One of my followers reblogged and wrote something about spending is time there hahah, one of my followers is on this very campus Big Will! Isn’t that crazy!? Yeah I don’t know, Will, it made me happy. I’m over that thing with...

Dear Will,
Well fuck him right? I mean it. Goddamn, I should know better than talking like that over fucking chat right? It wasn’t even a phone call or anything where I could make the excuse “aww he was in my ear”. No. That’s not happening again. I don’t talk like that just for kicks, that guy meant something and when I tell you about him you better fucking listen. He...

Some people come into our lives and go quickly.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never quite the same.

Big Will,
‘Bama beat Aubs today, it was close even though we were favored to win. It was a pretty awesome game. I got to shoot the halftime show too. I can’t wait ‘til I get to use the cameras full time. I miss that about high school.
Ya know what I was thinking today, Will? Those hecklers are always un-athletic rednecks! Really! Why can’t we just root for our team? It gets a...

Dear William,
I just talked to Dan today. He’s in NC right now and I guess he though of me cause he started it, haha. I miss him a lot but only sometimes, like when Hawaii says something funny and I know he would have laughed or said something like that. We really have the same sense of humor, Will. I’m working on my paper still, I read Barry Hannah’s article and I have to analyze it. Sounds...

Dear Will,
I know it’s late-or rather early. But I’m working on a paper and I felt like I needed to write you. I am so confused, Will. Sometimes he sends me all these “signs” and sometimes there is nothing at all. Part of me keeps saying I should just forget it because its only gonna lead to pain. The other part of me wants to know if this could work. We are so different but I trust...

Dear Will,
Went to the Bama baseball game today. Nic and I went to sit in the paid section because the student section is bleachers and right in the sun. We had pretty good seats right on the first base line. This Alabama St. player gets up to bat and hits the ball funky so it flew straight toward us! I mean right at us Will, it was wild. I bet you were laughing your head off at that huh? We were fine of...
