Tonight is the last night my dad and I will live in the same house. i went to Wal-mart today and bought him his favorite candy and stuff and put it in a bag. I wrote him a letter saying how I'm proud of him sticking with such a sucky job for my mom and i. How hes not leaving me, even though he thinks he is. How he should pick the job he wants now, whether it be a fisherman or not. And how i love him. I put that in the bag as well and stapled it all shut. Hes not supposed to open it till her gets there. I hope it doesn't make me sad or anything. :the rest of my entry My father and I have a very strange relationship. I don't hear him speak often aside from the sound of his snore. He works usually from 7 am to nearly 6 or so at night. Leaving me with literally no time to spend with him, and the time we do spend together is awkward and feels forced. He and I have no common interests and little to talk about. I have probably only have heard him (that I remember mind you) speak to me about 150 times. When he has the urge to tell me something it has to go through a check system called mother. He tells her to tell me something. Usually he’s never around or awake when I have an answer so I just tell her instead, so she will go and tell him. Regardless of our strange relationship, I love him dearly. Now to the point of why I am writing a thing about my dad. In about 5 hours, my dad and I will no longer live together. My mom and I however will. See my dad is moving to Florida, about 1200 miles away for his new job. He went down there a couple of weeks ago for a job interview, and lo and behold he got the job. My mom and he have been planning this since 2004 or so. So him going down is not a bad thing, it’s to get their life down there started. My mom and I will live here until I go to college in August. She will move down there with him in September. He keeps telling her how he feels like he is leaving me. He’s not, as much as I will miss him a lot, he’s not leaving me. For the past couple of weeks I have had the urge to spend time with him, but again who wants to watch hunting shows with their dad when they are cry when things die? Who wants to watch their father sleep, and listen to him snore. Alright, well watching him sleep is somewhat entertaining, but it’s not like our relationship is progressing from me sitting there chuckling. I all comes down to that my dad and I have had such limited time together, and even though I barely know a thing about him, I do love him and will miss him.
