So, I'm talking with my dad on the phone this afternoon, and I asked him if he and Mom were going to come to the Chrysalis hoot on Saturday. He said no, and told me they were going to Florida tomorrow. I was like, what for? And he told me that they had sold my grandparents' property, and the kids(and by kids I mean my mom and all of her siblings) were going to gather one more time at their home and say goodbye to it all before the house was bulldozed. Ok, its been a little over a year since my NeeNaw and PapPaw passed away, and I can even go most days without thinking about them and crying. But something about what my dad told me struck a nerve and I lost it. There are so many good memories from that house and from my childhood, and the fact that it won't be there anymore in a short amount of time kills me. Its almost like now I'm FORCED to admit the fact that they are gone(not that I didn't already know that)and it just makes me sad. I suppose that's ok, but part of me feels odd that my heart still aches at the thought that its going to be a very long time before I see them again(that goes for my brother too). Am I normal for still feeling this way? I don't know, but who's to say what normal is?
Wow, do I know how to bring down the party or what? On a much happier note, this past weekend was indescribable! I absolutely adored seeing everyone from Chrysalis. Every time I go on one of these weekends it feels almost like a family reunion. Does that make sense? I hate to leave everyone. I mean on Tuesday, I actually felt like I should be coloring place mats, or setting out agape. How silly is that? Anyhow, last weekend=absolute <3!!! I'm super excited about the hoot on Saturday as well. Oh, and go ahead and mark it on your calendars...if there is a Chrysalis prom this year, after party at casa de becky! So yeah, that's pretty much all I have to say for this evening. Joy and peace to you all! :)
