Well, I finally did it! I've graduated College...here's a little bit about the events that took place this week.
Tuesday night the President's office gave us a great dinner at Nickals Village.
Wednesday I drove to NJ to pick up my friend Daisy so i could spend some quality time with her and I got lost in Philladelphia in that entire traveling process. OH, I packed too.
Thursday I packed and my dad arrived from Michigan. I spent some time with him in the afternoon and then he came with me to the desert reception held in the Jim. I was really glad he was there I'm pretty sure that there was a good presentation of scripture and what not...so maybe...
Friday...was the BIG DAY! It went by faster than i thought it would and i was so glad that my father was there. My dad and I went out to Red Lobster for dinner where i just scarfed down the food I couldn't believe how hungry I was.
Friday Night my friend Daisy and I went to see the movie...JUST MY LUCK! It was indeed a chick flick and i really didn't want to see it because my psychology process just gets all screwy when i watch chick flicks but daisy really wanted to see it so i made an exception. Then we came back to campus to take a walk my car key broke while turning my trunk..it didn't completely brake but a snapped pretty good..
So this delayed my father from leaving as he was helping me try to get a key replaced..but we had a spiritual conversation...
I basically said that it wasn't okay if he died because i really didn't think that we would be in the same place...and that it wasn't because i thought that i was better but it is because i know how bad i really am..i know how proud my heart really is and I know that i can't save myself from that...
He didn't make any sly comments he just seemed to be thinking...it was good...maybe that is why my key snapped...if it hadn't he wouldn't have stayed and we wouldn't have talked...
I also recieved a card from him and for just about the 2nd time in my life my dad said the following..
Sara,
I am so very proud of you and all that you will achieve in your life.
I love you
Dad.
I tell you what many long years of pursuing a relationship with my dad was well worth those few words.
Love sure does go a long way...
