notthatcrazyIt takes a while to get started, but eventually he gets working on the whole "document your life together" plan. He makes a point to write things down whenever he can get a few spare minutes, beginning with their meeting in Mexico ("I know you remember this part, but I wanted to start from the beginning") and ending with Face waking up in the hospital.
The hard parts are difficult to get through, but it wouldn't be right to leave them out. His handwriting gets shaky in places as he recounts arguments and heartaches past. Mostly though, he writes about the good times in his typical rambling eccentric style. Some of the notebook pages have various bits of paper with drawings or other mementos taped to them, and at one point he goes on a tangent about his first flight that lasts for three paragraphs, but he gets to where he needs to be in the end.
Eventually, nestled among Face's belongings where he's sure to notice it, he leaves a small stack of cardboard-bound composition books, wrapped in a strip of frayed ribbon he found who knows where. There's a note tucked into the front cover of the topmost book.
You can read it, but only if you want to.
Love you.
