.15 [Monday//Evening//December 7]
I met up with my dad after school today. He said he wanted to see me before his flight back to the States. I have to admit, it was hard to see him again. It's only been 5 years, yet it looks like a decade has gone by when I look at him. His hair is receding and starting to gray, his eyes have bags under them... He looks a mess. I guess this was to be expected. I've been imagining him in my head based off a picture that was taken of him when I was 10. I guess time is cruel in more ways than one.
Anyways, since I've received that letter, all I could think of was what he wrote at the bottom. " ... there's something you need to know. " I wondered what he meant by that... and now I know.
I've received an inheritance. I guess my mother wrote up a will in my name. Apparently, it was intended for me to get the house as well. But-- Well that's not going to happen. Now, I won't say how much it was, but it's enough that I can stay in Japan without having to worry. At least until I get out of high school. I think it might even be able to cover my college tuition.
I know I should be happy, but... This is just another reminder of my mother's untimely death. I suppose she'd want me to be happy, and that's what I intend to do.
I suppose that's all I wanted to say. I doubt any of you care. Sorry if I haven't talked to any of you much. I'll get on that right away.
