rain

Most people know I'm not a fan of the rain, there are days when I down right hate it but I must say there are times when this weather has a soft spot in my heart. Nights like this when it is pouring and I can hear the thunder makes me feel blessed to have a warm home and a cozy bed to sleep in. I am happy that eveyone in my family is back under one roof. These past couple of months have been very difficult. My dad is my world, he makes this family work and without him we would fall apart. He calls me his right arm because I try to do my best to help him when he is unable to, seeing him lying in a hospital bed is one of the hardest things in the world. All my life I have pictured my dad as this strong pillar that cannot be knocked down but he has been so weak these past months. I know he will beat this illness. In a way I can relate this tough time in my families life to the current weather. Right now we are drowning in frustrations and heartache but in time there is the promise of light and new life once this downpour is over with. My dad should be on his way to full recovery by this spring/summer right around the time the sun will be shining and the rain will be over. Summer has always been my favorite time of the year but this year the anniticipation of it's coming brings me even more happiness because I know it means things will be back to normal in my home.

I have a few things on my to do list for this summer:

travel (with friends and fam)

go to summer school

get a tattoo

be in shape

have a summer love

have a beer with my dad in Laughlin

...summer 2009 I can't wait
