I have never have felt so grown up until today.
My parents have sold their house, the house where I spent my teenager years. All week I have been helping packing things up and taking them to the proper location. Now today was the big move. We hauled all the big, sentimental, priceless, ancient belongings to storage. I took a moment to realize that this is my family. As I packed and unpacked things, I took more moments to realize that, it was at one time just the four of us.
The house that I have live in for 6+ yrs is in someone else's hands. The house where I had the pleasure of having a step-father that taught me the most valuable values in life. A place where a mother sacrificed allot in her life to make sure that me and my brother had a good life. Actually, I have been thinking allot about my mother lately. I was thinking back to when my dad left us and how hard it was for my mom. Sadly, I'm 24 and I have finally realized this(ok...I am holding back some tears here, I have to be able to type this). I have the best mom in the world. Her drive and love for her family is unexplainable. I love her sooo much for it.
This entry just made me realize this also. A year ago in another week to the day, my step-father suffered a heart attack and lives to tell about it. I have never seen him happier. That will do it to ya. I have had friends where their second mothers or fathers did not really care too much about them. Now mine cares allot. He was the father that wasn't there. Nothing will never change my feelings about that. Nothing.
So finaly, I have been thinking about all the changes that have taken place in the last 11+ yrs in my families lives. Good, bad, sad, exciting or just the same family routine, that house holds those memorys, and we all are keeping them in our hearts.
so....I am going to graduate. Im doing it for me and my family. I love you Bob, Mom, Andy
