I posted a previous post, but that was from July 14th, so I'll make an actual post right now. Today my parents left. That was a painful goodbye, but I know that sooner than we know it, Christmas and maybe even Thanksgiving will be here so that I can see them again.
I had a tough time saying goodbye, letting go of my parents was so hard. I wish it wasn't, but it was. You know how when you were a little kid and is all you wanted was to get rid of your parents? When you move out it's the complete opposite. I mean, these are the people who have raised you since you were born! It was so hard.
Last night my dad gave me a note. It was so cute, and I loved it. It was just like a goodbye note I guess, and just was really cute! Um, yeah. Sorry, I'm really struggling with this entry because I just don't know what to write. I have a war inside right now, but I'm sure that I'll be okay given time.
I would like to dedicate the rest of this post to my parents.
Mom, Dad, you've been there for me through thick and thin, low and high, dark and light. You were there to pick me up when I fell, and you were there to push me to accomplish my goals and dreams. We fought a lot, we laughed a lot, we cried a lot too, but even through all of that you were still my parents. That is one thing that I know will never change.
Mom, you're still always going to be the crazy loving person that I've known through my 17 years of life. I'm really going to miss our "fights" in the kitchen, and I'll never forget all the memories that we forged. You'll always be my #1 closest friend, and my closest ally. I look up to you in so many ways that I don't think even you would understand. You've dried my tears, given me a brutal kick in the butt when needed, and had a smile that could brighten anyone's mood no matter how bad it was. I'll never be able to stop loving you, no matter how big of a fight we manage to get into.
Dad, you have been and always will be my Mike Wazowski and Mr. Fix-It Man. You are (and probably always will be) the hardest working person I know. I won't forget all the random things we've done together, from sifting through all that crap in the porta-potty to find your phone, to those tears that I saw and thought I never would see in my whole life, I know that you're my daddy and that I will always be you're little girl. I will miss all the random stories you'd come home from work with, but I'll miss being around you most of all.
I love you both with all my heart and that is something that will never ever change. I know that today and the next few days (and possibly months) will be hard and especially painful, but things will get easier. And try not to make people start wondering if you might actually be married for me, okay? Thanks for all you did and still are doing, mom and dad!
That's all I have, so until I post again....

(P.S. Dad: No matter how technologically inept you are, I'm forcing you to learn Skype, I'll get someone on my side, and therefore can say that I am forcing you!)
