I love, love, love this. Actually teared up reading it. Isn't it amazing how small, even brief encounters can completely resurrect your day and your self? I love Staff Sergeant B...who he is and all he had to say. His admonitions. Isn't it funny how his honesty and transparency comes across as brave? Moreover, being clear about what you love feels risky when you're unsure that you can even have it (or doubt that your Life Setup can support that dream?). And I identify with feeling that it's "too late." But, no one can stop you from loving Said Thing, right? Anyway, this was a really beautiful piece of writing, Caroline. Thank you.
