You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have

so today went well. Jonathan and I were able to have physical contact with my dad before and after the visit, so i got to hug him and Jonathan had the chance to shake his hand. And then we thought we were only going to get an hour, but since he is not in segregation anymore, we got to sit and talk to him for 4 hours!! It was great! He got to know Jonathan a bit, which was good, and he even referred to him as family! hehe. That part made me happy.  But seeing him today actually made me realize how much I miss having him around. I'm hoping he stays in Pontiac for a while, so that I actually get a chance to see him more often. So anyway, I feel a lot more calm now which is good

Now I just have to get through school starting on Monday! yaaaay....blah!
