Okay, I should probably stop putting this off.

A few weeks ago, my dad was hospitalized. I didn't say anything because it was the week before Christmas, and I didn't want to make anyone feel depressed on my behalf. Besides, my dad's actually been in the hospital several times since I started high school, and he's always eventually pulled through. ( Read more... )
