TRAVEL

<!-- August 5, 2002 -->

10pm

Dave is visiting. Finally.

It's weird. Originally, we were going to go on this big vacation together while he was back in Toronto. Now I barely get to see him.

At first I was hurt.

Then I decided to think about it another way. I decided to stop with my expectations. The only reason that I was upset was because I EXPECTED to be treated differently (more special) than others.

Then I was hurt to find out that I wasn't so special afterall.

Once I realized that, really, who AM I compared to his FAMILY?, then I was fine. Then I was happy with the time that I did get. And I didn't let the disappointment ruin the time that I had with him.

I hope Dave didn't get stressed out, trying to make everyone ELSE happy. I think he is, actually. Oh well. It's nice seeing him. He looks great and he sounds like he's growing up.
