Cameron was supposed to be leaving next month, he promised me he'd visit lots during the off-season and in between training weeks. It made sense, it wasn't like I was losing him forever. To think that back in August, I wouldn't have cared if Cameron were leaving to a different city. His family was all here, he was leaving some things behind. Did he consider me and my family, family? He barely got to know my siblings in this short time of us working together, he met my parents, of course, they loved him. I'd talked to his dad a few times, his mom liked
me, I think... I wish I'd spent more time getting to know Cam. I looked at the clock, 10:01 am. I got out of bed and got dressed, I had time.
