Waiting.

So I had the opportunity to be with David by now. Now that it's only 2 days until I see him, I am glad I didn't leave yet. I mean, I miss him so much right now, but I am glad I waited. Here's why.

1: I got to see Cuzzo get married. I spent the whole day filled with complete joy for him and his bride.
2: I got to see my great grandfather every day of my trip to Wisconsin
3: I celebrated my great grandfather's 90th birthday. he's been looking forward to this birthday since he turne 83.
4: there is a small chance I may never see him again, especially if his leg never heals.
5: I got to see my Great Aunt, and she is getting old as well, and isn't in the best of health. I may never see her again either.
6: I got to meet one of Dave's friends who I hear about occasionally, and who has helped me get through a rough patch with my parents.
7: I got to come spend 4th of July with my cousins
8: Sold Pickles. Found out he had more wrong with him than I originally thought.
9: I got more out of Pickles than I thought I was going to get.
10: I got to drink with cousins I had talked about drinking with since before I moved back to the US

So David has been complaining (and understandably so) that I could be in Japan by now, but because of all those reasons I am glad I didn't leave on the 4th. Especially since I was originally going to be there on the 14th. I may not be there 10 days early, but I am still arriving a week earlier. In the grand scheme of a lifetime, three days won't make a huge difference. Sarah With A H told me that one and I think she's right.
