Yesterday

I found out why I was feeling all crappy and emotional...
PMS
haha knowing that made me feel better during oratorio, but I was still emotional.
towards the end of oratorio, sutton felt like sharing a story (as he always does and they're always inspiring and funny) but this time, it was a sad one. And this particular story is about his father and how he didn't really have a great relationship with him growing up. But everything turned out for the best in the end before he passed away. And you know what that story did? 1. reminded me that I had to call my dad in san jose to wish my now 8 yr old brother (TRES, YOU'RE 8?!) a happy birthday 2. I really wanted to talk to my dad, even if it was 5 minutes. What I remember most from that 5 or so minute conversation with my dad was asking him when my birthday was to see if he remembered. And I was a little upset that he once again mixed up my birthday with my cousin's which is the 1st.

it's not easy talking to my dad... it's not like talking to my mom.
but I'm glad I called him.
and it almost brought me to tears

darn pms
