Neil had his wife ship him a box of things that he had forgotten to pack. She sent it to our office so he could have them before he deployed to Afghanistan for a year. The moment he got to our office he asked about the box. I assured him that it had arrived.
“Good, because it has a few important things that I really need.”
I led Neil into my office and gave him a pair of scissors to open the box. He cut through the tape and pulled out the bunched up newspapers that acted as packing. Finally, he pulled out the important thing that he needed for his year in Afghanistan; a pair of blue, leather cowboy boots.
