Back to the story

So I had told you that I had just met her parents...Boomer her Dad, and June May.. Her Mom. It was ackward for about two minutes, but after that her family made me feel like I was there the whole time, it is still an amazing feeling that I cant forget. I think that is why I want a big family. I mean these people had big dinners, and family functions, and actually enjoyed each other. I dont know about you, but most of my family hates us, and those that dont are dead. I remember our first night there we went to the town park and had halibut tacos. They where really good, and if I wasnt as big as a douchebag as I was back then, I would really enjoy them now. I played catch with her Dad and cousin. Since they dont have football as a sport up there (I dont know how either) I thought I would show um how midwestners do it. It was fun. The general flow of those first few days where... watch a movie until her parents went to bed, fool around, go to bed..wake up and sneak into each others room, hold each other, fool around, have breakfast, repeat as required. I still can remember how I felt watching the sunset while holding her in my arms.. It was amazing...I mean I was in Alaska.. Well, things were going great.. I mean.. we where having fun, hangin out... everything was soo worth it......until I got a phone call from back home after 4 days up there....The voice on the other end was my Mom "And she said, chris, we think your dad is going to die, you have a choice to stay, or come back. He didnt want us to tell you because he knew how much the trip meant to you. I replied instantly, I may never come back to Alaska, but I know one thing for sure.. I only have one dad.. I will come home...at this point I will stop..but know..it was this moment that changed my life forever..I think my heart was broken on multiple levels, and I am not sure it will ever recover..I can still remember handing the phone to June and looking at Carly through my tears..fuck.. That is all for now...
