sometimes it is really reassuring to hear things said out loud.

its strange, i always say that i love him to death, and i do, even though sometimes that means i hate him... and i talk to him about everything...

and i know he has a certain tolerance level with people... he can only stand certain things for so long, without developing feelings of anger toward these people, and sometimes he can get really mad at me... and sometimes i think, damn, this is it, i have reached the end of the rope... he hates me, and just deals with me when i am there like he does with everyone else...

but today, today i proved myself wrong yet again. and i was shocked...

"ya know i love you lulu..."

i didn’t know what to say, because i knew he wasn't kidding, because i can always tell when he is kidding...

so me, being the sarcastic little brat that i am, replied...

"yea, i know, how could you not?" and i smiled in my oh so charmingly bratty way that i do when i joke around with him.

and that’s when i got the real shocker...

"that's true."

i love ya too... and i value all of the advice you give me, even though it may not always seem that way, and i hope you know that...

but let me tell you, it's damn good to know, that I am not just another person you tolerate. :)

love always,

katie
