Father’s Day

Finals are officially over!! I probably failed my math test, but I think I did pretty good on everything else. Yesterday I went to another salsa social. It was fun, however I didn’t do a ton of dancing. I only danced with Philip this time, and he only danced with me. In between dances we talked. And talked. And talked some more. Now let me get something straight. Philip and I are in no way romantically attracted to one another. We both just love to dance. To us it’s an art form, a form of expression, and a fun hobby. With the right partner, it can be intimate, but Philip and I are just two friends dancing. Anyway, Philip and I both talked about our lives. I’m usually a pretty serious person, especially if there’s something serious on my mind. Right now, there’s so much on my mind. This is the first Father’s day in a long time where I’m not going to see my father. I don’t like to talk about my father because then people tend to pity me. However, sometimes I just need to talk. Everyone does sometimes. Philip also had a lot on his mind. He just graduated high school, but he really likes this girl who will be a junior next year. This summer she’s going to a sleep away camp for seven weeks. They get four days with each other this summer, and then he goes to college. So it isn’t easy for them right now. Anyway, I’m stalling. I don’t want to talk about my father, but I have to do this. Not for me, for any son or daughter who lost their father to something other than death. I’ve thought a lot about that. People who lose their dads to more than death. I had my dad’s rights taken away because he wasn’t being a good, supportive dad. I’m not going to go into the whole why of it all, maybe that can be another post. Nevertheless, I just wanted everyone that doesn’t have a dad anymore, that you aren’t alone. If you ever need to talk or anything I’m here for you. Alright, I’m out of here for now. I love you all!!
