ohh what to do? this is so hard?

ok i know it sounds silly to ask this on here, but i just don't know what to do. ok here it goes. i used to date a soldier(he comes from my area) and we kept in touch this whole time (even though it was getting less) since he was deployed to korea for 1 year. so in january 2009, he broke up with me saying he can't handle being in a long distance relationship. of course, i was hurt. but since the break up we haven't talked (he is shy). but i still have a good relationship with his parents. (his mom and i still talk). the thing is since our break up he has been home 2 times, but i haven't been around (i have been out of the country). and then last year in november fort hood got attacked (that is where he was stationed). so i called him and he actually answered and we talked, but i kept it short. then 3 weeks after the shooting i decided to text him, but he didn't answer me. and now here i found out he is getting out of the army for good and starting college next month (he's going to the college i went to). so my problem is: should i text him this weekend? i'm so terrifed to text him cuz i'm not sure he will text back. (we didn't break up on bad terms). what should i do? ignore or text? thanks and sorry this is so long!
