I'm lying in my parents bed, and my parents house. My mom is in Minnesota visiting my sister and my dad is\u2026\u2026 Well, my dad is no longer on this planet <\/p>\n

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\u2026 (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.<\/p>\n

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\u2026 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.<\/p>\n

I love you mom, miss you dad and love you too.
That's all for today\u2026 I have a 5:30 AM meeting and an early morning flight.
Happy and exhausted
Night, night Sam
