So i have been dating John for only a weeks and well, John's dad passed away. I can't even begin to explain how i feel. How he must feel, his whole family. I don't know what to do.
January 21st 2010
We were in IHOP, the waitress was seating us at our table when he got a call, he immediately turned around and we left, we didn't even explain to the lady why we were leaving. I had no idea what was happening. He gets off the phone and tells me that his father is really sick and was in the hospital. I was shocked i didn't know what to say. We rushed home to his house, he was headed for the hospital, I asked if he wanted me to come and he said no. I totally understood but i also wanted to be there for him. So he left in a rush and i was left in his apartment not knowing what to do. Not soon after Kindercare called me and asked if i wanted to work.I said yes since i didn't know what else to do. I was working with Laura in the Toddler room and i told her what was going on and that i needed my phone on. She was fine with it. A little after 1:00pm. I got a very upsetting phone call from John. His father had passed away. Tears came to my eyes. I went to my boss Kelley and told her and she told me to leave and go do what i have to do and that i would have whatever days off that i needed. I love her. I left and went straight to john's.
For that entire week i sat with him and his family listening to stories and coping with what had happened. I will never forget being there for him.
I met his dad once. We went over his house in Medford to get John's Plow. He came out to talk and help John. I will never forget that they both had their scally caps on. They looked so cute together. I sat in the car. He came over to me and said hi and we introduced ourselves. He invited us in for dinner but john said no we were all set. I really wish we did now. I wish i pushed and said ya let's go. But we were new and we had plans and there is no way we could have known. I won't ever forget this night and what they were because i remember going home to my mother and father and telling them all about his dad and how cute they were together trying to put the plow on and that it just melted my heart.
I may only have one memory but i'm so grateful that i have that! I am grateful that i got to be there for John and his family. I went to every service and my parents and cousin Maeg and her boyfriend Josh came too.
I really care about him and i wish there was something i could do.
