When I was driving back to the cities after Easter weekend I was reviewing all the news that was brought to my attention over the weekend. It seemed like so much to comprehend and take it that I felt overwhelmed. I couldn't run and hide because that wouldn't get it off my mind. I couldn't run and tell a friend because it was suppose to keep confidential for a little while. So I turned to a envelope that was sitting in my passenger seat and wrote down all the things that were running threw my head. Writing has been a great way to express my feeling and get them out. As I look at this beaten envelope with written phrases all over it there was one that stuck out for me to write about today.
I look back at the very exact moment my dad told me that news about moving. He was in pure excitement, but yet there was a little hesitation and worry in his voice when he told me. Its like he new before he even spoke the words, how I was going to react. He new the tears would shed, that it may hit me hard, and that I would have many excuses of why we should stay. As he was telling me the news there was one thing I looked at that made me stay strong for my dad. As I looked into those eyes it gave me a source of satisfaction that everything was going to okay. There was something in his eyes that made me smile and believe. I couldn't began to explain what or how those eyes did it. If there is one thing about my dad that makes him an amazing person is his ability to understand you. He may not come out with words and console you, you may not think he feels your pain, or you feel ignored. But its that look, that connection, and those eyes that make you feel comforted by his soul and makes you know and feel that he understands. That he understands, cares, and loves me just by that "something" in his eyes,
I love you Dad, Congratulations on your
new business. I'm glad to say you have
received your dream that you have
long awaited for!
