Decisions...

After a lot of thinking and criticism, I have decided that I am leaving Wednesday (assuming my car is done by then) to go home to Illinois for the rest of the summer.

My Dad called the other day and said that my Grandpa's cancer has progessed a lot farther and faster and has finally spead to his bones. As of Thursday they gave him 3 days to a month. Its hard and I originally thought that I was going home for that reason alone. And then I realized that I was using it somewhat has a front to go home, because I have been miserable at BBC this summer. Dont get me wrong, I love this school, but this summer is a bit much.

And then I talked to my Dad because him and my Mom didnt think that I should come home. And my Dad said some stuff that hurt, but it made me realize even more that I needed to go home. Because there are wrongs that need to be righted. And I think that after realizing that, that if I didnt go home I would be making a big mistake.

So my Dad, in trying to convince me that I shouldnt come home, actually succeeded in convincing me even further that it was the right thing. Who would have thought? So if you could all be praying for me as I pack up to go home these next couple of days, and a hard rest of the summer that lies ahead of me! Pray for my family and the comfort of my Grandpa in his final days.

God Bless!
