So I've had this same CD player since a week after I got out of bootcamp (almost five years ago.) I've listened to it every day since then, no joke. It has been one of the most constant things in my life. It is possibly one of the only things that I still have from that time period, material or otherwise, and in that sense, it has been one of the best things in my life.
It broke today, and I find myself grieving for it as much as I would for a favorite pet. I tried to find a replacement for it. It was a Sony Psyc, and apparently they don't make them anymore. I bought some Panasonic piece of crap instead. I mean sure it can play MP3s and my old CD player couldn't, but will it love me like my old one did? Probably not.
I hate how life is constantly forcing all these unwanted changes on me. I didn't want a different kind of CD player. I didn't want to have to make new friends all over again. I don't want to have to go job hunting in a year. I didn't want him to leave.

Yeah, that's the exact one. The only one they're selling on amazon is a used one though. I'd be afraid to get a used one since it's hard to say how much life it has left on it.
It's very sweet of you to look it up for me though. And you remembered it was yellow!
I'm sorry things are changing. I heard two songs today that made me think of you - "Lullabye" by Shawn Mullins (EVERYTHING is gonna be all right, rockabye) and then the Plumb song we listened to when we were teenagers (EVERYTHING is gonna be okay... He's going to wipe your tears away).
I am praying for you - pray for me as me and Lee look for the right place to move our family into.
