On the topic of being proud	by Arienadean	2001-11-14 00:32:29
This isn't about me being proud of myself... it was fear I'd never make people proud of me... Because I'm not like some notable public figure, I have no fancy degree, etc... I've not given the world some wonderous cure or invention, etc. I figured I'd never be anything that would matter... I figured when I saw my dad last alive... he'd die not being proud of me for I hardly had accomplished the likes of my brother or others. I never felt I lived up to expecations... I couldn't be what others wanted me to no matter how hard I tried. Eventually I let go and had no expectaions of anyone ever being proud of me for anything... if anything I expected them to not be proud and never find cause to. My life wasn't easy and everyone makes mistaks in life...(I have as well... nobodys perfect). But I'd tried hard to be good tho didn't seem to get me far most times. Anyways... Last time I saw my dad alive before I left to return back home. He with my mother at his side told me just how proud he was of me. I nearly started crying there. I thought and said why?? I'm not anything special nor have I don't anything special. I didn't think I'd ever make you proud. My father said he was proud of me for who I am and surviving what I have and dealing with things as well as I have. He said I was special and he was proud of me. Then he told me he loved me and I had to go... saw him one more time before I left then he passed away. It was a gift he gave me and ment more to me than words can say... So if your a parent, friend, sibling, or significant other... Never forget to tell those you care about what they mean to you and if you are proud of them for something. Sometimes words can mean alot. Anyhoo my tired ramblings... and now crying remembering that memory...(not bad tears... good tears). :)
