So my dad called me earlier today while I was out mowing the lawn. Unfortunantly I didn't get to my phone in time so he left me a messege. He had gotten a new job but sadly he had to move back to New Jersey. This happened Saturday, but I managed to spend some time with him five days earlier before the move. Still, I'm a little depressed about the whole thing anyway as he's the only parent I can really talk to. Even though he doesn't really know that I'm gay and stuff. The messege he left was an uncharacteristic one for him. He actually started crying a little bit half way through. When I was younger I never really had much time to spend with him as he was always working or going to school, and now that the cat's in the cradle I guess he finally realized that we both missed out on a lot of stuff. Up until now though I've never actually seen or heard him show this much feeling for it. Although he's always said all that mushy stuff like how he "loves me" and is "proud of me" I always had a little trace of doubt about the validity of those statements. I suppose that he's always had to be stiffed-necked in front of me. One silver lining to this whole "new job" thing is that I now know he cares about me more than I thought and that he REGRETS making the move from the west coast to the east coast. He says he wants to move back as soon as possible, while I think he might end up settling down in his home state, I'm still hopeful.
