Camp Vacation, 1995 Ends
Camp ended today, and I ache with sadness. I miss [Stacy] already. This morning, she wrote her name on the back of my neck. She told me to wait until I got home and then have someone read to me her message. It was just her name inside a heart; simple but very meaningful to me. I miss her. I miss everyone; campers and counselors included.
I moped around the bedroom and the spare room across the hall, listing to a little boom box I found there.
Popular songs of the time I heard often as I hovered on the edge of tears:
- Seal’s hit, Kiss from a Rose
- TLC’s smash, Waterfalls
I’m glad I don’t have to return to Dayton until Sunday.
