I usually try to refrain from being too personal on xanga, but sometimes it just can't be helped. Maybe it won't hit you like it did me; maybe it will. And you should totally take the time to read all of this, not just look at the pictures, it would mean a lot. Today was pretty sucky, but this guy made my entire week, heck, maybe even my entire month...  I try not to publicly complain (rant yes, but there's a difference), but as I said today sucked. I've been relatively down lately, and it just seemed to peak off today and I couldn't get myself back up. This weekend my family went to Kings Island and I didn't get to go because of work. When my mom called yesterday she said that my little brother won me a stuffed bear, which was only the most adorable thing ever, mainly because he's all tough and usually hates me. Haha. When they came in tonight he ran through the door to give it to me, he was soooo excited because he tried and tried and tried and finally won it with his money. I guess he insisted on that particular bear. When my mom asked him why he had to have that one he had this to say: "Sissy always has that black and white dog on her bed, and I know it makes her sad. Now she can sleep with this instead." Now, allow me to make that make sense. When Tony and I were first friends he bought me this stuffed black and white dog as an inside joke, and it's remained in my bed with me every night since; for over two years now. I still keep that dog on my bed, because I'm a sentimental fool. I guess what made this entire thing so wonderful to me is the fact that this little 10 year old thought in his heart to try and make me feel better. He put forth the gesture of spending his money (and when you're 10, 5 bucks is a huge deal) to get me a bear to sleep with. Maybe it's just me, but having that love from him is so wonderful. That little kid, with his wonderful little kid hugs and arms that are too skinny and barely reach around you, that same little kid that can get on your last nerve, that little kid loves me no matter what I've done wrong... and that little boy right there is one of the reasons everyday gets better. |
