the crickets are getting louder...

Dear Daddy, Happy Dad’s Day! :D I know I haven’t seen you yet since last night, but I’m going to greet you again when I do. :) My list is VERY long, but I don’t think social media will be able to give justice to how much I’m thankful that The Boss up in Heaven blessed our family with a dad like you. Thank you for always making time for my impromptu school errands and helping me decide on which bookshelf or study table to buy, for those cross-city drives and crazy traffic jams you figure out how to get out of even if I fall asleep on the passenger seat, for those times when you (and mom) still scold me for going back to my place late (even if you know I was out studying :p), and for the million other reasons why I enjoy coming home on weekends even if I either fall asleep or not see you and mom much anyway even if I’m home. :)) Oh, and dad? Thank you for being one of the very few people that have remained constant in my life. I love you, dad! :)

I don’t know why exactly I mimicked choirs of angels in jubilation upon tearing off the plastic of this baby (a la Christmas morning! Haha :p). I don’t know— it just felt right. ;) #textheavy #nopunintended #book #books #med #medicine #harrisons #ohyeah #fight #fighting #crazy #studysesh
