So a few years ago my dad had given me a small box full of things that he had kept when I was in grade school. I thought nothing of it so I just took the box with me and put it in a closet in my apartment and never really looked through it. These last couple of days have been a little rough for me, and I've had to deal with some very big changes in my life and my future. I always thought that things were going to go a certain way, and then things don't go the way you expect them to. The last couple days I haven't really been my happy, positive and out going self. At some point in the last 2 years, I had taken out that box that my dad had given me. Maybe I had planned on looking through it at some point and throwing it away because I had thought everything in it was just garbage. Boy was I wrong!!!
My dad had kept a whole lot of things from when we first flew from the Philippines to live in the USA. There were things in there that I never thought I would enjoy looking through. Some of these were drawings, birthday cards, letters to friends, teachers, and I even wrote a story about 2 dogs who fall in love! Going through all this "junk" made me laugh, smile, cry and just oh so happy! So I thought that I would make a page on my website dedicated to this part of my life growing up and share it with everyone I know.
I will be uploading these in the next couple days, I'll put as much detail about each post as I can.
Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.
