I was supposed to be a doctor, that’s how I meet Jordan, I had a situation that made me switch course. I realized I would be of better use helping people with their legal issues. I thought dad was going to pass out when I told him. He told me he didn’t understand my choice after he took a few moments to get his bearings. Mom was screaming out of her minds. Dad cleared his throat and we all knew what that meant. I stood in front of his desk with my head down trying to mentally deal with the sting of mom’s words. Mark was rubbing my back. Finally, dad told me to look at him. I took a deep breath and look at dad. He asked me if I had thought my decision through and nodded. He sighed and smiled at me and I couldn’t hold back tears. He told me it takes a man to know what he is called to do in life. He stood up, came and stood in front of me, smiled at me and wiped away my tears. He said if I was sure, and he said I again and I tearfully nodded so he nodded as well and told me he was all right with my decision because it was my decision to make. I cried and he asked me why I was crying. I could hear our mother behind us still making comments and now she was yelling at Dad. I told him I loved him and he smiled at me, hugged me, and told me he loved me too. I had my father’s blessing and I never needed it more than I did at that moment. He then called Ray into his office, a SS officer, and told him to remove our mother from his office and if she continued yelling to arrest her. Ray was trying not to laugh because no one liked the way she was talking to me and dad. I told my dad I loved him so much.
