Yeah, so, by now if you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Gtalk you should know that the day has finally come for when me Dad and I finally meet face to face. (Insert big smiley face here) He and I have been talking and getting to know each other for what doesn't feel like 4 months. I won't lie I wish that we could've met a long time ago like he had originally planned, but I know that all things happen for a reason. My dad told me that he is grateful for these few months because we've been able to forge a bond already and now when we meet there will be little to no awkwardness. Truthfully, I'm still a tad nervous. I'm mainly nervous because I don't know how to act like a daughter. Some of you might be just like oh don't worry about it just be yourself yaddah yaddah yaddah, but really I just don't know, which isn't an extremely comfortable feeling at all. Beyond all of that, though, I am ecstatic because I can recall many of times throughout my childhood where I would dream about even just the possibility of meeting my Father. I told myself I couldn't date guys with the last name Jenkins because it could turn out we were related. I would dream of what he looked like and how it felt to be embraced by him. And now in just 2 more days I all of that will be a reality. I don't know how I'll react when I see him. I am emotional person believe it or not and I have yet to breakdown in tears so that form of expression is a possibility. Who knows really other than God. All I do know is he is coming...scheduled to land at BWI at 11 am and leaves Sunday night and I will squeeze as much out of every moment in between. What makes this more thrilling to me is I know that this will be the first of many...a new beginning...a reprise!
Dreams Really Do Come True!!! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!!!
i really feel like i'm going to cry! you'd think that it was my dad coming! words don't describe how happy i am for you big sis!
