Today I went on a run with a white legged, highly irritating personal trainer. My father. Running makes me do two things I am trying to avoid in order to fool my future bible college friends into thinking i'm a lady: 1) spit 2) cuss. But it also makes me feel great; my first achievement in well over a year. And today I smiled as I ran a frustrating stride behind my super fit father because my Dad thinks I can do anything and I will always be thankful for that.
Today I also went dorm shopping with my Mum. I can tell that she is getting sappy because she wanted me to have the WHOLE of ikea for my teeny tiny dorm room. I now have a vase though I have no body to buy me flowers, a candle i'm not allowed in my room and a gazillion 'storage solutions.' I know that she wants to me to have a home when i'm not at home. And when we afterwards went grocery shopping (picking up a years supply of shampoo and stationary etc) we stopped for a cuppa. I sat down and said "Mum, I really miss Tyles today," she said
"I know, but I'm so proud of how well you have done, being away from him"
And that makes all the difference.
I had to tell them to leave my room if they are going to kiss today. Colin and Sarah-Jane you are slightly mad, a little annoying and not nearly as funny as you think you are. But I love you and I love being your daughter.
