a new man

I am a new man.
With everything that happened this year
I just really wanted something good to happen.

I wanted something that would make my family, especially my mother proud.
I wanted my dad to be proud, my grandma to be proud,
they always ask me about resume, interview progress... and I always felt shitty.
My mom.. I just want her to have something good fill her body,
something besides the chemo.

I wanted to prove myself.. live strong and succeed.
I wanted and still want it for Timmy.
So much is left empty.. so much he can't ever do now...
I want to bring the life he would have had into my own
and make mine twice as strong for both of us.
I need to.. for him and for me.
God, I miss him so much.
I may say this a lot... but I was always with him as he grew up
until he was in his last couple of years in high school.
I was away in college and he didn't get to see much of each other,
but when we were growing up I felt like he looked up to me as a friend
and cousin. I really really really hate that he can't look up to me now.
He always showed appreciation towards me.. and out of everyone I know,
I always felt his the most. I truly felt good that he still cared after all our years
growing up. I truly truly felt this warmth when he'd find interest in my photographs,
designs, my life.. everything. I appreciated it so much..and I want it now.
I want to tell him I got this job.. I want him to be annoying and say
"You know you're letting me use your discount, right?"

I'm doing this for me and so much for him.

So yeah. I am a new man.
I have a real job.
First interview.
A real company.. purely classic american...
fashion industry... a dream job.
My foots in the door.
I am thrilled.

I just want to start...

congrats!! What's the job??

Some unsolicited advice though hun - don't ever do anything for anyone but yourself. I can tell you from experience that if you do you'll wake up five years from now and realize you're miserable and wish you'd done something YOU wanted to do, rather than what you think everyone else wants you to do.

That said, I know nothing about this job, so maybe it is something you want to do - if it is, best of luck!!!! Do you get to stay in NYC ?? Very exciting!! :)

Miss you!! *hugs*

Well, for what it's worth, you've always been a great man.  But I'm proud of you for making a great man greater.
