(Little back story) I am a huge family girl, and they mean more than the world to me. If I could have one wish in life it would be for me to stay 5 yrs old for the rest of my life, and my parents would stay the same age they were when I was 5 as well. It is the last time I can remember not having a care in the world. I can''t look at family picture albums, old school photos, or even talk about old family vacations... I literally begin to cry before turning the page or speaking a single word.
Well this is how my morning went...
Called my mom to say hello, on my way into work. She informed me that she was going to be repainting my old room this weekend. She also told me that she had taken down my trophies!!! GASP!!! I went silent... (My dad built a shelf around the top of my walls for all my trophies. As I grew up he would continue the trophy shelf to another wall, and another, until it surrounded the entire room.) I asked her, "Well, are you going to be putting them back up?" She said no... but they cleaned all of them and they got these great boxes to keep them in.
Keeping in mind I take a charter bus to work, I was very lucky that most of the passengers close to me were wearing head phones that undoubtedly muffled my cries. I was so upset. My mom understands that it had nothing to do with her taking them down, she knows this is just an issue I have with all things regarding letting go of the past. So then she puts my dad on, and he tells me how emotional it was for them, and I immediately wished I would have been there to help. It would have been such a neat experience to talk about all the tournaments and stories as we put them away... yes I started to cry again...
Well, I got off the phone, cried a bit more, and finally took a little 10 minute nap. I was better when I got to work, but called C as soon as I arrived at my desk. He listened to my story, knowing exactly what I must have been feeling because he is always there to comfort me anytime we leave my parents house, and he said, "Babe, have your parents ship the boxes down here, and I''ll build you a new shelf for all your trophies."
I know it sounds super cheezy, but it melted my heart. If I have to grow older, then I wouldn''t want to do it with anyone else. I can''t wait to spend the rest of my life with such an awesome guy.
Thanks for listening to my story... you gals are the greatest.
