this is probably the weirdest thing ive ever had happen to me in my life. today, we are celebrating my birthday, as it happened during my first week back at school. my dad came in tempted to give me my gifts in the privacy of my own room. the gift giving went well. it was just after the offering were bestowed that it got weird. I hugged my dad and thanked him, and he got teary eyed. he realized that im nearly gone from the house, and on a 'i- see- you- everyday' basis. ill be gone, and probably for the longest time, if not for good. it hit him all at once, and he started to cry. It made me sad that i have to leave, but i must.It made me realize, though, that my dad really, and truely, cares about me.
