Here comes another Monday
Where in the Hell did the weekend go?? I think the fact that I have been sort of busy this weekend had something to do with how fast it went by. The surprise birthday party went off with out a hitch, my father was totally surprised by how many people were there. Damn he made out better than I did at my birthday and got over 400.00 in cash in his birthday cards!!
Today he is feeling emotional, he was pretty tired from his walking around. Yes he is on his feet now but for very small periods of time and when he is on his feet he gets tired out. So anyway after they came home from church he went to have his usual Sunday afternoon nap and as I was coming out of the laundry room he called me into his room and said " I want to talk to you" Now whenever he said that when we were younger it either meant he knew something we did or we were in trouble. Even though I am 34 whenever he still says that, I feel like Oh boy here it comes!! But when I went into his room he was acting very strange, now we do not communicate very well he and I. We are too much alike in our showing of emotions. So he tells me to sit down so I do and he proceeds to tell me how much that he has appreciated all I have done for him lately, not only lately but he starts talking about how I had to do most of the chores when we lived in the Northwest territories like cutting wood, hauling water. When you live in the North you mature very fast, anyway he even tells me that he appreciated me for all that.
My father and I have never really been close, well we have but we never showed it. But as of late my father and I have drawn much closer. We will sit down and talk, something we never did when I was a teen. So as he is telling me this I didnt know what to say as it caught me totally off gaurd. Anyways after he had finished his little talk I just told him that, I was happy I was able to be here for him and that thats what family does for each other and I gave him a hug and that was it.
I know it sounds sappy and all but I think that my father and I have an understanding now about how much we appreciate each other. If there is one thing my parents have instilled in us its the importance of family, cause without family who do we have to fall back on. Well enough of my ramblings I have to finish my laundry and iron my clothes for the work week and fix me some supper. I hope that all of you have had an awesome weekend.
