The past few nights, my dad and I have been taking nighttime walks together. We walk up and down our neighbors 1/2 mile lane, and talk about whatever it is that we want to talk about. I enjoy this time with my dad because I don't have to hide anything. I can just be myself, and not worry about being judged by anyone, it is just me and him. We talk about what annoys us, what we both did during the day, and what we plan on doing the next day or the next week.
My dad and I have never been close, only in the past year have we actually formed a stable relationship. My dad and I are very similar, we both have a low tolerance of people, we get annoyed easily and we both keep our feelings bottled up inside. My friends joke that I am the "tin man" because they don't think I have a heart because I don't show my emotions. Whenever I go on a walk with my dad, I don't have to hide my emotions, I can let them out. I can vent about whatever it is that is bothering me, and I know that all my dad is going to do is tell me to calm down, which I won't. These walks with my dad have brought us closer together, and I hope that we can stay as close as we are now.

My Legacy is Over....But Another One is About to Begin
When I was born on February 16, 1992, I became the first girl on my dad's side of the family born in 65 years. I have been the only girl on my dad's side of the family for eighteen years.
My cousin Dusty and his wife Candice were not able to get pregnant on their own, so they had to turn to fertility treatment. Candice became pregnant right away, everyone in the family was thrilled, because Dusty and Candice had been wanting a baby for a long time. About a month ago they found out what they were having. I knew that I would be happy if it was a boy or a girl, but deep down I really wanted them to have a boy. Does that make me a selfish person?
Whenever Dusty and Candice found out what they were having, they sent out a forward to everyone in their cell phones. I was one of the last ones to find out. They are having a girl. They are going to name her Lainy Jewel. When I found out that they were having a girl, I am not going to lie I was a little disappointed, but it is time for a new girl to carry on the legacy. Who knows, since she is due in February, she may be born on my birthday, wouldn't that be interesting?
