I'm lying in my parents bed, and my parents house. My mom is in Minnesota visiting my sister and my dad is…… Well, my dad is no longer on this planet

I'm staying in my parents house with two of my friends, my friend Shmuel from Israel and my friend Tamer from New York. We had an impromptu meeting at a Mexican restaurant tonight. We all have a common interest that we completely ignored for the sake of having a good time. We exchanged stories about families, hobbies, diapers, hobbies… (Did I already say hobbies?) and crazy get rich quick schemes. It was wonderful hanging out with this very diverse group of people. All of which i count is good friends.

I was a little nervous about staying at my parents house for the first time since my dad died. As it turns out, it's really nice here. I miss my dad… At the same time I feel okay about it. I went in and rated his liquor cabinet and finished off a nearly empty bottle of tequila in his honor. That felt like the right thing to do.

I love you mom, miss you dad and love you too.
That's all for today… I have a 5:30 AM meeting and an early morning flight.
Happy and exhausted
Night, night Sam
