aww what a sweet bf

Take care Nick

Wow Nick, I am sorry that you are having a tough time but at least you have your BF. Hehe I hope he makes it throught the morning? Hehe If you know what I mean.

Well, that is good that school is going okay and I am glad you and your dad talked. Sometimes parents don't understand what kind of stress they are putting on you and it could make it worse instead of better. So, maybe if you and him talked it out he might understand your side a little. I am a big advocate of sitting down with the rents and having an "open table" discussion where no one is allowed to get mad or at least act out and you have to listen to what the other person is saying before commenting again. Now I am the worst, because I don't listen that well and I am always thinking about the next thing I want to say instead of listening to the other person. So I always have to watch that. But, I have seen it solve a lot of family issues.

Thanks for the cool note on the blog. I am really glad that I can do something to support you and get attention to your stories. They are the best. And Kevin and Michael are the best too!! I think a lot of both of them as well.

Keep your head up and can't wait for the next chapter of either WTD or B.Bay.

Hugs,

David

Oh Nick, I can

Xiaos right, your dad is terrified, period. Nothing you can do, its not your fault, and here is a man who's #1 job is to protect his son, and he can't change a thing. That being his #1 job doesnt mean that you need to be protected, it doesn't deminish your importance in this world, so don't throw darts at my pic. :ranger: He would push you out of the way and let the bus hit him, and not even blink. I know, my son (13) has a heart murmur, and I can't do a damn thing about it but worry. It's not as serious as your condition, but I can relate to your dad. I have a friend that I've known for 30 years, (God I'm old), that has your condition, and you wouldn't even know it. He knows his limitations, so I can relate to you there.

Boxerdude and Xiao are right.........talk, like you guys did, sounds like it made things better. I have never fought with my dad, but we have never talked either, and we don't know each other very well because of it. We have always had that.......even strain.......between us. So all I can say is talk and stay close, before the wall is too high to climb.

Sounds like your BF is into guys that think they are loosers because they can't go out. Might want to keep him around.

Take care.

Ex.

he wont leave me alone. He wakes me up at ungodly hours of the night to make sure I'm sleeping okay

LOL, it's sweet but that does seem counterproductive. Have you ever tried responding, "well I WAS"

My mom fondly recounts the time she was staying in a hospital overnight and they woke her up to ask if she needed a sleeping pill.

Then I had to call my bf and tell him why he's dating a total loser who can't go out and do anything. Then, being the sweetheart that he is, my bf ditches the party and walks all the way here to see me so I'm not just stuck here by myself.

awwwww

So then this morningI get up and I check my email, and I couldn't believe it. I had one of the sweetest emails from someone who asked me if he could use one of my poems to take to his bf's grave with flowers and balloons. I can't believe my writing has that kind of effect on someone, and it really makes me stop to think about how lucky I am that some of the people who read my stuff found me.

wow! that's awesome

Boxerdude, Xiao_Chun and Afriendlyface are awesome for having links to my stuff in their sigi's, too. I really owe them a lot for the support they've given me, and I promise to make it worth it. You're all awesome, and I couldn't ask for better friends on GA than you guys

Thanks Nick You're a terrific friend too!
