Yesterday

So my mom let is slip to my sister, who in turn let it slip to my dad, that I will not be continuing in the Air Force. Well, my dad calls me yesterday to tell me that I forgot his birthday and that he was soooooooooo disappointed in me! Blah!! I understand I took an oath, I understand the type of commitment that I made, but even the air force understands that college kids' life plans tend to change! I would most certainly love to honor my commitment to the AF but if I don't do this I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life. I need to be doing something creative! And if I could make it work I would, but I can't. I then proceeded to call my mother and yell at her for telling my sister and she was surprisingly understanding. It was most certainly the best conversation I've ever had with my mom. She gets it. And she's not disappointed, she's proud that I finally had the courage to go after what I want. I don't know what I'm going to do about my dad. I think I'll write him a letter or something.

That's a bummer about your dad - hopefully he'll come arond after he has a while to think about it.

Your dad will come around, give it time. I know that I get upset at my daughters sometimes but it doesn't last long......
