Go Ahead and Ask Me

Some *VERY* good news.

Although I don't think it'll register with you how good of news it really is. (To help out, I'll post a bit of background)

My dad is a good person who's made bad decisions in his life. Without going into embarrasing detail, I'll just say that the last I heard of him, he was neither living at a homeless shelter or his ex-girlfriend's house. No one knew where he was. (He was also broker than I'd EVER care to be)

Today was my brother's birthday. Dad gave him a call. It's the first time I've heard from him since he called and left a message on the machine for my birthday back in July.

I was really worried about him. Apparently, he's going to Louisiana to help rebuild there. Which means that he'll have a job.

He hasn't had a real job for longer than a few weeks since I was in elementary school.

I'm so happy. Even though I didn't get to talk to him, I'm really happy.

I can't tell you how happy I am.
