My dad's store officially closed today. What does this entail? That both of us are unemployed.
In a way, we both graduated. His took 7 years, mine took 4. And now, we're uncertain as to what we should do, how we're going to make any kind of moola. It's a huge transition for him. People kept asking him today what was going on and he kept lying, saying he's changing just the layout. Even though, he didn't say anything and smiled the whole time, I can tell there's a sort of sadness in saying goodbye to this store. He made a lot of acquaintances with this store and lived a lot of interesting stories.
Yet, I'm relieved that he can sleep more and have more time to relax. I'm relieved that I can see him now, even though I'm sure his nagging will make me want to kill him. I'm relieved to have that stupid store he slaved over for barely any profit go and that at least now, I can know that he's safe from anymore physical threats.
I want my dad to enjoy the rest of his life, but to do that I have to step it up and be financially stable.
Crap.
