Awesome Weekend

I had such a great weekend with my parents and brother. I drove right after my class on Saturday, and caught rain the whole time! The charming rain clouds literally followed me all the way to Orlando... but I finally got there with my lovely mother waiting to greet me. She is always the most excited person whenever I arrive anywhere. I mean, there is no other person on this planet who is as excited as her when I walk through the door. I love her for that…second in line is my pops; especially lately. I got a big hug from him, and he waited for me to arrive (which took forever due to rain) for his first beer since he got off chemo and radiation. Man…that beer probably tasted like gold! My brother’s roommate made deep dish pizza, which was incredible I must say. It was just such a wonderful evening.  

Sunday, we went to church in the AM…and it was a really beautiful sermon. I hadn’t been to church in so long, but it was nice to finally go again. I have had a hard time accepting that my dad is sick, and so I think I finally made some kind of peace and I don’t think I’m as angry. Dad’s seemed to accept it, so I think it is high time I do too. After that, we visited my brother’s new sailboat! Which by the way I am veery jealous of. I am though, very very happy for him. He’s dreamed of sailing for too long, and now he gets to.

On Sunday night, we had burgers and many many rum and cokes. Maybe too many, because I got the eye from dad when I went to make another, so I went to get water instead. There was a really big storm that hit…and I mean really big! The wind was ridiculous; I thought a tornado was passing through. I didn’t get to bed too late though, because this morning I was up bright and early ready to head home. It’s always sad when I leave mom and dad, but I know I’ll see them in two weeks when we go to Texas to meet with Dr. Conrad once again. That’s when we really know how well pops is doing. Until then…keeping my fingers crossed.
