Youve Graduated?! So What!!!
"Many things which cannot be overcome when they are together yield themselves up when taken little by little." – PlutarchI ran into a couple snags as I am building the online store front back up to what it was. That is ok because really that was expected. I allotted time for any setbacks but at this point I am going to be about a week behind. Time is money. I have yet to hear back from my dad after that voice mail I left him letting him know I graduated. It was expected that I wouldn’t hear from him. I know that with this I just can’t walk away without saying something. Any normal parent that gave a damn would have called back. This just confirms everything I always knew. Frankly, it sucks. Such is life though. That whole ordeal just makes me miss Grammie even more. What will I say? There is so much I want to say but is it worth my breath? Most likely not. I want to be able to be a part of his life…I want to be someone he gives a damn about…but realistically that’s not going to happen. Out of sight and out of mind for him. I don’t exist. It hurts to know that I am that easily forgotten. Honestly my expectations aren’t much- not anymore. I expect all of this. However, it’s time to voice myself. As he used to say “the squeaky wheel always gets the oil.” Does it? I guess we will see. Now what to say….so much to think about. ~Bright Blessings~Rea

I was always looking for my parents approval. I never got it. They are gone now. My therapist reminded me that all people are different, some not as loving as we are. But she also reminded me that I broke the mold and am not like they are and maybe even became a better person because of it. Maybe this is true for you. It is not you, it is him. Love yourself and be proud of the person you have become. Congratulations on your graduation, that is quite an accomplishment. Naomi xo
Sorry you haven\'t heard from your dad. I\'m sure you\'ll get your online stuff up in no time. :)
