I Came Back!
Imagine that I'm actually back tonight like I said I would be. I got a load of dishes done, the litterbox cleaned, the trash changed, and the laundry started. It still looks like I have a million dishes to do. I hate dishes, one of the things that I really want in my house is a dish washer. Course at this point I'd just be happy with a house, but oh well, it'll happen some day. I NEED to take my pre test for my GED this week, I was supposed to go on Friday, but I felt like poop, and I had to walk so, I skipped out on it. I hate feeling sick, knowing me I may have done it to myself, but I felt sick until like 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Who knows, I am crazy...
Well there is something that I wanted to share, that I'm pretty proud of. I was laying down to go to sleep the other night and all I could think about was this letter that I want to write to my grandfather, so when I grabbed my journal and started writing it all came to me and I am very pleased with the final product, so this is what I'll be writing in a Christmas card for my grampa. Here goes...
Grampa -
Of all the people that helped to raise me you taught me some of the most positive traights I have. I wanted you to know that you have been a mentor and an idol for all of my life. You've taught me to be brave, courageous, truthful, loyal, trustworthy, hard working, strong, caring, understanding, and confident. I want to thank you so very much for all these wonderful things that you have instilled in me. My dad may not have wanted to be in my life, but I never needed him. You've been the absolute best father that I could have ever wanted. Thank you for enabling me to do whatever I want in my life. Thank you for believing in me and being the dad that I never would have had. All the favorite memories of my life have you in them, our fun days camping with all your great stories, riding with you on the tractor, pretending to work on the porch addition to the house with you, and even my wedding. You've done so much for me and you're far over due for a whole bunch of thank you's. For all your love and help I am forever grateful. So thank you and I love you Grampa.
So...that's it, I really like it, it says everything that is really hard to say in person, plus my grampa is an old fashioned kinda guy, and it would make him really uncomfortable if I said all this to him, so this card is a great way to let him know how I feel. Well I got more chores and I want to take a quick nap, so later.

Wow, that's so cool. Rarely do we thank the ones who impact us the most and express just how important they are. I have a friend Meghan and she has done so much for me in just the things she says, observations and insights she has for me. When I told her that she has changed my life, she was surprised. I thought she knew. People are funny, sometimes.
