just got word that my dad and my stepmom are having to evacuate their home in lovely ft. walton beach, fl because of the hurricane - i worry about them because my dad isn't so healthy any more (he's not one of those old people with an oxygen tank and a colostomy bag, but he's not exactly the spry, frolicking engineer of my youth - that was sarcasm, i'm fairly certain that my dad has never frolicked in his life, he's probably never traipsed, skipped or gallopped either, for the record) - i hate that they live all the way across the country and i don't get to see them often (even less often now that my dad is unhealthy) and my dad and my stepmom are really the parents that i should have had, my dad is very understanding and accepting and my stepmom, in spite of the fact that she's never had children) is so nurturing and great.

i'm kind of sad now
