Hey guys! Well, I got the job right on the spot

So I am stoked about that! Also, my dad may be getting to come home from Virginia Friday! He has been up there for four months, and my mom passed away last year, so I am living with some friends right now, but he may be coming home!

YAY! I have only seen him twice since July, and boy do I miss him!! One was just to go see him before school started, and the other for his bday. See, he has serosis of the liver, (he was in vietnam and drank heavily after, but quit when I was born

) and he just recently had a liver transplant, which I am very thankful for, because he was very close to death before that. Plus, I am only 17, and this has been going on since I was 15/16 and now hes better, so I'm sure you can imagine the relief

There were many times after my mom died (which is when he got really bad off) that I would have to leave school early, or just not go, so I could drive him 2 hours to the closest Veterans Hospital, sometimes at 2 or 3 in the morning, and if I wouldn't have, he would have died...there were many times like that. I would have to take him at least once every two or three weeks....it was really hard, especially not having mom around to help me cope, and with older sisters and brothers who are out of the home and were always against me...everybody had given up on my dad except me, and I can honestly say if it wasn't for me, I don't think he would be here, but that kind of gives me a sense of pride, the fact that I have literally saved my dad's life, when everyone else wanted me to sit back and let my only parent I had left die...and that wasn't gonna happen. I have always been a "Daddy's Little Girl." I love him so much, and can't imagine just sitting back and not trying, that's not me at all. Sorry, I promise this isn't a pity me story...just kinda felt like talkin about it. But all in all, my dad is doing great now! And should be home for the first time since July

I'll keep yall posted on that as well.
So, for the job, I am constantly walking, as a matter of fact, not allowed to sit down. So, how many miles do ya'll think I should count for each hour??? Let me kno what yall think please

Thanks!
