The Bright Side
Ok, Well, when I first wrote this, I didn't think of all the good things about this ending. Yes, maybe my father wont live as long as the rest of us, but it's made me stronger. I can handle things now that I couldn't before. I used to look away from challenges, but now I face them. My father and I get into fights, but some how we always get through it. Since I wrote former chapter, I thought about my dad and how much I love him. He is an amazing dad. He works a lot, yes. But when he is home, that makes the time I spend with him all the more special. I am really grateful now that he did us the honor of never smoking around us. So many parents do that to their children, and I don't think that is right. I just think it's not the child's fault, or their choice. That really means a lot to me. If he ever smoked around my mom, I'm afraid it would have made her lung tumor worse, but that's over now. The reason I wrote the last chapter in such a negative point of view, was because I was angry that I couldn't control him to quit. I wanted to be able to say "no", like I do to my dogs, and he doesn't do it again. But, he is a fully grown adult, perfectly capable to make his own decisions. I can tell him my point of view, nothing more. Anyways, I can't dwell on what I can't change. So thank you for reading and reviewing, I just wanted you guys to know that my dad isn't completely horrible :).
Thanks,
Paige
