Gum

     Like an idiot, I completely missed my picture of the month for august, but i do have it for this month. I've been busy with school for about a week, but today was the first official day at Hastings Senior High. After coming home i looked on my ipod and received this message from my dad. This picture of the Extra Dessert Delights Gum may not seem like much, but it represents our relationship perfectly. Roughly four months ago I saw this glorious package of mint chocolate chip gum and had to get it. Well, it gloriously sucked. But because I just had to get it, my dad made me eat every piece of it. Well, like i said, it was just plain terrible and i couldn't finish it. So when my dad brought it up at the end of the year, I told him that if he ever missed me or needed me while I was gone, he should chew a piece of that gum. Thats why today after school, when i received this picture, it wasn't a pack of gum. It was a sign of strength. We are at separate schools, living separate lives, but we are still together. So I hope that today when my dad tastes the mint and chocolate, he knows i'm there with him.
