Some thoughts
It feels so good to be able to type with both hands again. If anyone is interested, check out my facebook picture to see what my hand looks like. Keep in mind, though, that it looks 500 times better now than it does in the picture, because I've had 4 days to wash/moisturize it.
Tomorrow is my dad's birthday. As my parents get older, it leads me to the realization that myself, along with everyone else, am getting older. I'm almost 20, how ridiculous is that? I don't mean to sound over-dramatic, I realize 20 is still super young, but it just makes you think. What happened to the time? I remember being 14 in 8th grade, thinking I'd never get old. Here I am, 2nd year of college, with the world around me and the work in front of me, wondering where I go from here. I also realize, now, as I get older, my parents are awesome. I don't know how many kids would want to say that. I know not everyone has a great relationship with their parents, but it's important to cherish time with them. All throughout my life I've felt my parents were pretty cool. Everyone remembers how my mom always made a big deal out of everything in Jr. High, but she's mellowed out a lot. Her and my dad both respect my ability to handle my life, and they give me a lot of freedom. Just over the last few weeks, I've seemed to realize how important it is to enjoy time with my parents, and I've discovered that I get such a good feeling when I come back home. Megan's grandma was telling us how it's good we live close by, because after she left for college, she only spent those few summers back at home. We've heard it a million times, but she summed it all up by saying "you can never go back home." Once we leave for jobs, families, careers, and whatever else, we will most likely leave our home. We may live in the same town, some of us, but after a while, none of us can truly ever come back home, or regain that feeling of home we once had when we were young. It's important to enjoy our families, and enjoy our time one another, because the time goes by so fast. This song is dandy.
Remember how we struggled though
Remember nights we spent on hard wood floors
We're fighting for
to make a change
to live our lives the way we dreamed
despite what they might say...
Also, a late notice, my respects to the Gearhart family on the loss of Jordan. I won't act like we were best buddies and just hung out before he passed away, but we were once close. Myself, Jason Swanson, and Jordan hung out all the time in Elementary School. I remember many recesses of football together, and I remember that laugh from long ago. Although we drifted apart over time, I still am glad I had time with him as a friend. My respects to all those who lost a close friend.
Later days.
