Your Firefly
June (Ember’s Senior Year of High School)
Firefly,
Congratulations!
I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to celebrate with you. Can’t believe you’re done with high school. Cade and I are so proud of you.
Next is college. Did you finally decide on a definite major yet? I know you’ll do amazing. You always do.
Write when you get a chance.

August (Ember’s About to start College)
Hey Colton,
Sorry it took so long to write back. Graduation wasn’t the same without you and Cade, but it was ok.
College is going to be great, I’m studying Marketing and Business, and my minor is Graphic Design. I want to be able to eventually come back home and put my degree to use here at the farm. Garrett can’t be the only one helping my parents.
Summer’s been good. I’m making the most of it before leaving for college. The parties are crazy and Owen’s starting to tag along. Now I know what you and Cade felt with me always hanging around you guys.
Be safe, please. I’m worried. I’ll write as often as I can.
Your Firefly
September (Ember’s Junior Year of College)
Colton,
How are you??? I haven’t heard from you in a long time. As you’re probably aware, I just started my junior year of college, and it’s been a whirlwind.
I’m starting to wonder if you’re even getting my letters. Did I do something? Please tell me what I did.
Please, just write back. Let me know you’re okay.
Your Firefly (I hope)
December (Ember’s Junior Year of College)
Ember,
You did nothing wrong. Please don’t worry. I’ve been busy. This is nothing like I imagined. The days are longer and hotter, it’s harder than anything I was put through during basic. But I’m managing.
I don’t have a lot of time right now. I’m heading to the showers before bed. I’ll try to write longer later. Just know I’m doing good.
Oh, please thank your mom for the care package. She managed to get all of our favorite and most missed snacks.
Have a good Christmas. Talk to you when I can.
Your Soldier
P.S.- don’t think I didn’t notice you addressed me as Colton in your last two letters.
P.S.S- you’ll always be my Firefly, don’t ever question that.
