So one day, the detour will be over.
Then one day, I will graduate from college.
Then one day, I will get my PhD in American History and wear the funny hat at graduation.
Then one day, I will get a job teaching high school kids
Then one day, I will be the best teacher in the whole wide world.
Then one day, I will find someone who wants to go somewhere just because I will be there.
Then one day, I will promise to buy the things that only he likes at the grocery store.
Then one day, I will stick pictures of the two of us braiding our lives together in a big white photo album.
Then one day, I will be grading papers at the kitchen table and he will be making pancakes with blueberry smiles.
Life will be wonderful.
