The Family Meeting
So this morning the landlord called me up and asked if I was still interested in getting an apartment over there. I said "yes I am" and she wanted me to come down there and sign a paper so she could do a credit and criminal background check. I told Mom where I was going to go and she started talking about Dad needing to tell us something. So she called him and he said there would be a family meeting tonight. The last "family meeting" we had was years ago when my parents were splitting up temporarily. You can tell I was thrilled right?
They have decided that they are going to move to Flordia in June to obtain a business from my Uncle. This is a really awesome opportunity for my parents to make a lot of money and pay off the house in the next five years instead of the next twenty years. They basically wanted to know who wanted to go with them and who wanted to stay. Dirk wanted to stay home which caused an immediate fight between my parents. Mom said that she didn't trust him to stay in her house for five years while they were gone. Dad didn't see why she was making a big deal out of it and Dirk left the room muttering something about him following them like a dog. My sister and I were left sitting in the room with Dad in silence.
Finally things started rolling again and I basically said that I probably wasn't going to go, which Dad figured. We thought about letting Brezy rent out the house and Chad and Casey could live there too since they pretty much live with Brezy now. They make a lot of money and they would be able to pay everything okay and Mom and Dad wouldn't have to sell the house and they would have somewhere to come back to. I thought that was a great idea since I could still visit the house. It's part of my childhood and I really didn't want them to sell it in the first place.
Despite all the good, I'm still really upset by the whole thing. I don't want my parents to go away somewhere for the next five years. I know it's kind of selfish, but they've been with me my whole life and I always thought they'd be around during me moving out and such. I love my parents. Mom and I spent the day together today and it was really nice. But we probably won't get another chance to for a while. So I'm going to try and spend time with them whenever I can. I know a lot of people either don't have parents, or their parents suck ass, but mine are awesome. And we're really close.
It's just such a sad thought to me right now. My parents are going away for five years. Big adjustment.
But I may be getting my apartment soon! Silver lining and all that jazz.
