Back from Maui. Another MEDIC situation on the plane on the way back. OMG people, don't drink a beer and then take a Xanax!! You may just pass out and can't be revived for a bit because you are SO out of it. Maybe it wasn't just ONE beer... I don't know, I don't take xanax, so I have no judgement.
I a sitting in a local organic restaurant waiting for Kaia to finish gymnastics. I wonder if I should start a book about watching people in coffee shops. There have been some interesting people in here. I was able to do a little work, but it wasn't without total distraction.... Hot guy sitting alone, hot older guy sitting alone.. Yes I am married. However, both my hubby and I can identify and admit when we see hot people. I wonder if they think this is a great pickup joint. I actually think this may be a place a come a little more frequently on Saturday's when Kaia is at the gym. It is actually quite peaceful and the food is amazing.
I was hit with an overwhelming feeling while in the bathroom of missing my dad. (yes, I recognize that is strange), However, you can never tell when these feelings are going to come. I just really miss him today. I wish I could call him and chat with him about my trip, my kids, my pups, and just about life. I think he would really have enjoyed Maui. He would have laughed at my stories and then shared the stories that were triggered in his brain from what I share. We would have then gone into a lengthy conversation about traveling and our different experiences. We would have then moved on to talking about my relationships I have with some of my team members and my traveling experiences with them. Next he would have told me he would really like to meet some of my friends and would have added "the hotter the better". We would have talked about his up and coming trip in June, maybe plan a spontaneous side trip in the spring depending on who is playing at Jazz Fest in New Orleans. Next, we would have talked about our time at Jazz Fest and when I wanted to get closer to Mumford and Sons, so I grabbed his hand, led him through the crowd, and asked people if they had seen my son who was about 5. We would have laughed at this because I didn't have children with me at this event, HOWEVER, we did get pretty close to the stage. We would have talked about stealing the ketchup because we had to have it with our fries during our "drunk" ordering at the Clover Grill. Then we would have laughed about returning it the next day because we truly are nice people. We would have chatted about my oldest and the trust I have for her to drive 3 hours north to visit her boyfriend. He would have mentioned something about sex and I would have assured him that she is protected by birth control. He would have been proud of that and then would havea said something preverted which would result in me saying "GROSS Dad"!! Oh my goodness, this would have been the BEST Saturday conversation...
Instead, I sit in this restaurant that he would have loved, listening to the THIRD time dishes have been dropped behind me. I sit here and write about our conversation we would have had, but no can no longer. I sit here missing one of my favorite people and wishing, no LONGING, to hear his voice one more time. Feel his hug, and listen to his advice on life whether I wanted it or not.
On this day I will notice the things that would have made him happy. I will keep my dad on the forefront of my thoughts. I will talk to him when I feel like it, and I will be thankful for the time, love, and wisdom I was granted during his earthly time here with my as my dad...
I love you Dad.
