My Head Hurts.
I wish with all of my heart and soul that I could explain what I've been through this thanksgiving. It's been outrageous. I cant even keep up with it all. Gahhhh.
Let's start with the dinner I had on Tuesday.
I went out to dinner with TJ on Tuesday night.
Before we got into the restaurant TJ got a really serious look on his face, and tears started to well up in his eyes. He began with, "well Em, there's something I've been needing to get off of my chest." OH GREAT, I'm thinking...what did I do wrong? Well, turns out I didnt do anything wrong...because his next sentence was.."I need to ask you for forgiveness." Whoa?! right?
Yeah well he continued on, tears and all. "When I met you, you were eight years old. I had never raised a kid, and so I raised you the way I was raised. That was a mistake on my part. I want to ask you to forgive me because all I did was discipline you. I didnt love you the way I should have, and that's why you and I dont get along. I dont treat your brothers the same way because I know that things would be different if you had been raised with love."
By now I'm in absolute SHOCK. Well of course there is more to this story. The REASON behind him asking me to forgive him....his motive. My step dad is getting baptized on Sunday.
Ok.
.
So anyways.
Wednesday we left for Eugene.
It was a good day.
and Thursday (Thanksgiving I might add)
was CRAZY.
it started off super slow...but then the food started arriving...along with family members. Jimmy...who I have NOT had the chance to see since the day he woke up in the hospital.... was the last to arrive...sort of (but we'll get to that)
IT was SO amazing to see my cousin. I love himmmmmmmm. He's doing SO well.
