been real busy lately. last night, my sister-in-law was telling us how her fate dealt her a shitty hand in life. i sat there, and i kept my mouth shut. the things she told me that she's been through were less than bareable even to hear. yet, through it all, she came out of it a great person. and as i sat there, i relized that i have been a total asshole to my family. i was adopted, basically given a second chance. i have more than anyone could ask for. financal security, a supportive family, people that care, yet i take it all for granted, and through all the shit, my family has never given up. and when katie finished, i looked at my father, and i said "dad, i've been a real asshole to you guys for the past couple of years" and that was the first time i had addimited that to my family. and for that, in the eye's of Nate, Katie, my Mother, and my Father, i have proven myself to be a mature adult. and to hear that from them was a great thing
