Wow...what a day!
Well, I do not know why my day had to end so terribly. It started out...neah...not soooo good, but then it went to VERY AWEEEEEESOME to very VERY bad! :O( I had my day all planned out. I was going to get some stuff done around the house, go visit a friend, go to school, and then just go right back home and wait for my mother to get back from working out.
As the day progressed, my plans were slowly changing..even though I did not expect them to at all. I did get SOME of the stuff done around the house that I wanted to, and I did go to my friends house..but I did not get to do anything else that I had planned. On the way to my friends house, I passed my mom's good friend's house that I use to baby-sit for. As I was driving by their house I was looking around outside their backyard, and I noticed that they were sitting outside on their back porch!!!! :OP This excited me so much, because as I passed they just waved at me like crazy, and of course I waved back at them. After I stopped by my friends house, I hopped back in my car as quickly as I could so that I could get back to their house and possibly visit with them, because I had not seen them in YEARS!!! I use to keep their 2 twins when they were only 2...and now they are 5!! So it's been quite a while there, hasn't it?????
When I got back to their house, they were still sitting on the back porch. When I got out to say "hi" Shannon<-----the husband, motioned for me to come sit down on the swing beside them. Only minutes after that, the two twins came outside------> Lydia and Stephen. I expected them not to remember me AT ALL!!!! BUT...when they came out, they looked at me, and then they waved at me with big huge grins on their faces! It was really one of the happiest moments of my life! After they came out, the two older boys---->Adam and Joshua came outside. I think the reason why they were all coming outside was because their was a box of cake sitting out there, and apparently they were coming out to eat the cake from the box....*snickers*
After being outside for only a very SHORT time, we went inside..and can you guess what the first thing I saw was??? UHHHHH HUUUUUH...their new baby!!!! He was honestly the cutest thing I had EVVVVAR seen! He was just grinning from ear to ear, and he made the cutest lil noises trying to talk ;O) When I walked over to him he started reaching for me. I was really shocked by this though, because Jacob had never seen me before..but at the end of the night, I came to realize that he was reaching for me just so I would get him out of his rolly chair...hehe! He hated being in that thing! Then the kids drug me downstairs to play video games with them. After we got through down there, we went back upstairs and Shannon had his guitar out. He started telling me how he and his family wrote songs and sang them together, and I just thought that was the greatest thing. I'm really glad that Ruby suggested that they all sing for me. I really wish I would have had my digital camera at that moment, because I would have videoed it! It was so awesome xD They all sang a song that they wrote called "The true vine is Jesus" and Shannon had just picked up the guitar all in 6 months!!!!! I was truly amazed!!
After that..Ruby, Lydia, and I went to the grocery store to pick up some supper, and that youngin' wanted everything she could possibly get her hands on. She was so funny!!! Sometimes I even had to carry her to keep her from running around so much. When we got finished there, we went back to their house and Ruby set the table. I never intended to stay for supper, because I knew I had to get back soon, but they had already set the table and everything. After we had finished eating I tried to help ruby clean, but Shannon really wanted me to finish watching the incredibles with them. So we all sat together and watched it. Near the end Shannon made the kids go to bed. I played with Jacob a lot because he would just keep grinnin at me, and he would make his way towards me like he wanted me to pick him up. Then when the movie was over I got all my things together and went home. I was really happy that I had gotten to see all of them, and I was surprised that the kids had not really changed all that much. I was so afraid that they would have changed so much that I would not have been able to stand it:OP BUT boy.. can they talk up a storm now. Next time I go I'm DEFINITELY taking my camera!!!!
BUT when I got home...I made the biggest mistake of my life. I lost someone very dear to me, but there is nothing I can do about it anymore. All I know is...I'm tired...I never wanted to say goodbye...and I can't stop crying, but I know you will be happier now. I think you should know that it is not because of you that we can not be friends anymore. I mean.. I know we have had REALLY rough times, but all you had to do was talk to ME about problems you had with me and not EVERYBODY else. You never gave me the chance to understand you. You just don't know how hard I tried, and how much I wanted to understand you. You know I would want you to be happy, but I do not support something that has been trying to ruin our friendship since the beginning, and I'm sorry but I just can not support that. I want our friendship more than anything, but if this is what you truly want... and this is what would make you happy...then I say do what makes you happy....
