Since I was a little girl, I've had a connection with my dad that I never want to lose. Like with my mom, I have a connection that I hope will never leave. I love my parents, they have done plenty of things that I believe make them good parents. Raising me, taking care of me, feeding me, making sure that I accomplished high school, etc. We've had our differences, and many many arguments and things like that. Overall, I believe that my parent's are doing what any other parent does.
When I was young, my dad would make me laugh all the time. When he would come home from work I would run after him. He'd body slam me on the water bed and I'd laugh up a storm. We'd watch movies together, and when I was in the stage of Tea Parties he would gladly participate and make me feel like a princess. My parent's showed me videos that they made when I was younger. Shaking my butt to my mom's favorite song. Holding my brother and trying to tell everyone what my dad was repeating. Those moments I miss.
I was thinking about my parents this morning. Now that I live with Zach, I can't see my parents like what I used to. Since they live in Iowa, I miss them more than what I realized.
It's something that I'm starting to realize early on. I was in so much of a rush to move out of my parents house and gain my own independence that I didn't realize that it wouldn't be the same. That's why I miss my parents, I can text them and call them even skype them. But it doesn't feel the same.
Moving out was definitely a new experience, for me and for Zach. I miss my parents more than they know, and even thought we have our fights it makes me love my parents more and more for dealing with my teenager mentality.
I hope my parent's know how much I love them. I wouldn't be here without them. And no matter how far we are.. I will continue to call them, Skype them, etc.
I love you mom and dad! With all my heart!
