ok this is probably gonna be pretty long so i dont blame u if u totally ignore it i just have to let some stuff out.
if any of yall know me very well you know that my favorite place in the world is the beach. more specificly our condo at one seagrove place that my grandfather actually owns. i dont think i can even begin to tell yall all of the memories that me, my family, and my friends have made there.
*stop* i have to explain something before i continue.
my grandfather live in tennessee as well as my moms step mom who is the only grandmother i've known besides my dad's mom. i never met my real grandmother. she died before i was born. but my mom always says i would have loved her to death. most of my pretty good friends know that my mom had a pretty hard childhood too b/c her mom was an alcoholic. when my grandfather married jojo (the stepmom) it made him so happy. however, she has 3 or 4 (cant remember) daughters who now have young children. since me and my siblings are all grown up now i guess dandy (my grandfather) feels that its not that important that he is around us all that much. he has never told me he loves me and its never really bothered me til now. he only comes in town a few times a year and takes us to lunch. he recently retired at 80 years old..finally. i dont even hardly know him and he hardly even knows me. so obviously, he doesnt know how much this tiny condo means to our family.
ok so..
last night my mom told me that dandy has decided to sell the condo. adam was at my house and i kept myself together pretty well until we walked downstairs and i broke into tears. he is so sweet he just sat there and hugged me without saying anything while i cried for like 20 minutes. then when he left i hugged my mom and burst into some more tears. the big kind that you choke on. we just talked and cried for a while. she asked me why i was crying so much and i told her because it was my favorite place in the world and so much stuff had happened to me there. i learned how to swim, i got my first kiss, i dug holes and made drip sand castles, i've rented bikes and rode to seaside at 10 at night and looked like a total idiot. and sooo so much more. i know it probably seems stupid to some of yall but i'm just so sad.
dandy is stopping back by on thursday so my mom can tell him the truth about how we all feel instead of trying to be strong and hide it. i've been praying all day that he will change his mind. please please pray that he will reconsider and that my family will not be so sad. and pray for my dad. he never wants to see my grandfather again.
