Importance

    So this week our blog post has to be about three people who have been important in my life; my choice would have to be my mom, my dad, and my girlfriend. First I would have to talk about my mother. My mother would have to be the best mom in the whole wide world (which everyone else says about their mom). My mom has always been there for me, there have been times where she seems like she hates me; she can be pretty tough. Even with her tough side she was always there for me as a kid. As a child I went through a lot of doctor visits due to the fact that I was really bad with my asthma which caused my mother to spend a lot of time to take care of me. Constantly I was at the doctors, whether it be because of my asthma, allergies, or my weak immune system which caused me to get sick quite quickly. No matter what I was going through my mom would always be in charge of taking care of me and making sure I was okay. As I’ve grown up I noticed that maybe she spoiled me a little bit; okay maybe a lot, but my mother always did anything she could to make me happy and did anything to make sure her baby boy was okay and I love my mother very much for that. I don’t know how but I will pay her back for everything she did for me for the rest of my life, I love you mom.
    Next would have to be my father. As a kid I remember my dad always working and hardly home, I felt like he hardly did anything for me. My dad would leave really early in the morning and would get home really late at night; almost around the time I would be in bed. My father was a lot tougher, he almost always said no to everything. When I played soccer as a kid, my dad would criticize on either how good I wasn’t playing or how bad I was playing. I would not say I hated my dad as a kid but I really disliked whenever I had to do things that included him. As I noticed things about my mother when I got older, I’ve also noticed things about my father. The only reason why I felt like my dad hardly did anything for me or why I disliked him so much was because he was hardly home, and wasn’t as easy to convince about buying me things as my mother was. In reality, my father didn’t spoil me like my mom. Not only that but my dad was never home, not because he didn’t want to be, but because he was working to make sure we had the money to eat, buy things we wanted, and also support his family like any man should do. Now I see the bigger picture of my dad and get along with him quite well. Although as a kid he never spoiled me, now as a maturing man, I’ve noticed my father does spoil me; whether it be changing my car oil, fixing my car, buying me movies, or just trying to bond with me. I love you dad, thanks for making all the things I had in life, including you possible.
    Now to talk about my girlfriend. My girlfriend and I have had an amazing relationship, we’ve had our ups and downs; as any couple does, but at the end of the day we love each other. There’s a lot of similarities we have: our similar initials, both of us coming from a family of three, being the only boy/girl part of our siblings, being understanding, our similar goals in life, and the list goes on. But there are also other not so good similarities we have, our stubborn attitudes, and both being spoiled by our parents. Although we have our similarities and differences, my girlfriend has really been my support for the most recent part of my life, I’ve been going through a lot, whether it be work, school, and family, she‘s been here for me. Mine and my girlfriends relationship is a long distant one, she lives in Santa Barbara, and I live here in Oxnard, and the way I see it, distance plays no part in how good a relationship is or is not. Distance has nothing to do with how much a person loves another and although it is about a 40 minute drive, it is well worth it. I thank my girlfriend so much for being so supportive, and helping me see things in a way I never could have if it wasn’t for her, and I can honestly say I love her. Babe, you’re my best friend, thank you for just being you and thank you for helping me lately, I know I can always count on you, I love you babe.
