Important Matters

Tonight my daddy took me out to dinner. It was our last daddy-daughter date in a while and it was very necessary. We were able to open up a line of communication that I think we were tip-toeing around for a very long time now. Although all of my question weren't answered I was able to get from him some information that I needed to be able to move on and work on myself.

I've always known that my dad loved me, but seeing him cry tonight really brought it home. I'm not sure if he knows it or now, but he has been a really good dad. To my mother he night not have been the greatest husband, and my brothers of course have their own issues with him, but to me he's been a great father. He has supported me, loved me, defended me, entertained me. I love him and will always love him.  I'm a daddy's girl to the core and I don't think that will ever change. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a spoiled brat and he helped make me that way. 

~Just thought you should know dad!!

I COME WITH LOVE! 

STRESS!!

It's almost mid-night on my last night in my native DC. Tomorrow evening I will be traveling to Philadelphia to hang out with some friends before I begin my Staging at the beginning of next week. This will be the last night that I sleep in my own bed, the last time I am sitting in my room around all of my wordly possessions. 

At the same time I am also attempting to compact two years worth of clothing, toiletries and other necessities into 80lbs of luggage and I am stressing out! I over pack for a weekend trip so I have no idea right now HOW I'm going to pull this one off. I have made lists and piles of the things I think I'll need. I know that I'm probably being a little excessive, but I figure that it's better to be safe than sorry right? Right....(trying to convince myself lol)

I have been really blessed to have friends and family who have helped my tremendously. I sent out a packing list and people began sending and bringing things over. It's funny how you never know how people really feel about you until something drastic happens. It's not that I didn't feel loved, it was just never as apparent as it is now. 

So this is one of many thank yous I will write from now until my service is over.

                                                      ** Thank You**
                                            ~to all of my family, friends, family friends, church family, friends of friends and everyone else who has prayed, given to and helped me thus far. You will never know how truly appreciative I am or how blessed I am to have all of you in my life. 

~As always my lovelies~                          I COME WITH PEACE@
