No title

I'm sure I don't have to come up with a title for each and every post I do here but I feel like I should put something up there.

I called and talked to my Dad yesterday. I had gotten something in the mail I wanted to forward to him, but more importantly it was nice to talk to him. It's weird, I've always felt really close to him but ever since Aamber passed away I feel like I'm a bit closer, if that's even possible.
I know a lot of people I'm friends with don't understand my relationship with him but to me it's simple: He's my Dad and I love him. I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, trust me on this, but he's never let me doubt for a single second that he loves me. He's let me make my own decisions, good or bad, and was there for me when the bad happened and let me know I was doing good when the good happened.
I know I'm not the perfect person in the world but I know I'm not all bad becuase I was raised by my Father. Even though I've never had any of "the talks" I knew enough and was raised to have enough sense not to do anything really stupid. For example: I'm 30 years old and have never been high on any kind of illegal drug.
I'm also not the father of any bastard children.
In this sense I'm a little torn, I mean, I know my place is where I consider home and that is here in Portland, but I feel I should be there with my Dad if for nothing else than to just be there if he needs me for anything. I know he understands why I'm not in Jackson anymore and I'm glad he respects that. I know he would love for me to move back to Jackson but I know he understands it's time for me to do something on my own and I have unlimited respect for that.
The only thing I can do now is call him as often as I can or even try writing one of those letter things, you know, with pen and paper and send it in the mail? Those are odd things considering email is all the rage.

Well, I'm almost out of time, once again, so I would just like to say, even though my Dad will probably never read this, I want to say for all my internet buddies to read: I love and very much respect my Dad!!!
