i hear you Daddy...

so, i'm gonna get a little personal right quick.

every family has their issues, and ours is no different. it just feels different now that Daddy isn't with us. so yesterday, i was frustrated and irritated, and about ready to break down in tears (in the parking lot of Costco) when I decided to take a minute and relax. I turned up the radio, and this song started playing.

Let's say we're sorry before it's too late
Give forgiveness a chance
Turn the anger into water
Let it slip through our hands

We all bleed red
We all taste rain
We all fall down lose our way
We all say words we regret
We all cry tears
We all bleed red

If we're fighting we're both losing
We're just wasting our time
Because my scars they are your scars
And your world is mine
You and I

We all bleed red
We all taste rain
We all fall down lose our way
We all say words we regret
We all cry tears
We all bleed red
Sometimes we're strong
Sometimes we're weak
Sometimes we're hurt and it cuts deep
We live this life breath to breath
We're all the same
We all bleed red

Let's say we're sorry before it's too late

We all bleed red
We all taste rain
We all fall down lose our way
We all say words we regret
We all cry tears
We all bleed red
Sometimes we're strong
Sometimes we're weak
Sometimes we're hurt and it cuts deep
We live this life breath to breath
We're all the same
We all bleed red

I knew right away that it was Daddy. Listen to the song. Read the words, and soften your heart. I love you.

1.   Something that makes me a great friend is,      I like to listen, I like to help, and I like to make ya el-oh-el.

2.  I am    the funniest person I know. hehe  .

3.  I am not     a loser... I'm #winning (lol, had to say it)  .

4.  If I had to describe myself in 3 words, they would be     silly, loving, and girly .

5.  Something I'm really cheap about is     clothes... not in a cheap and trashy way, but I really don't shop for clothes (for myself) alot and when I do, I hit the clearance rack first thing, unless I find something that I absolutely can not live without then I'll pay full price (and honestly, that is usually shoes. haha)  .

6.  Something I'm willing to splurge on is      shoes! haha. and groceries... and (lets be honest) chocolate  .

7.  I would trade       everything I own      for       one real hug from my dad  in a heartbeat.

1.   The best prank I ever pulled was       probably on my sister, when we were younger. back in my youthful days. lol .

2.  The best prank ever pulled on me was    my cousins magically appearing in my bedroom (again when I was much younger... like 6)  .

3.  A day without     family    is a day wasted.

4.  The most important things in life are     the people you love. Don't sweat the small stuff or hold grudges - it's just not worth it. Life's too short! (I like this answer, so I'm borrowing it from Lauren)  .

5.  I dream of     my dad, and vacation with my family .

6.  I dread      being sick or in pain (specifically back and neck pain)  .

7.  A discovery I made this week was       that I don't HAVE to have coffee in the morning to give me a boost... my multi vitamin gives me enough to get me through my day  .
