This is the best day of my life. Letting my body fall back onto the
narrow bed with the pink floral bedspread, an excited squeal of breath
escapes me. I can’t contain the smile spreading over my face as my reality
starts to seep into my bones. I’m here, I’m actually here. I can hardly
believe it. I’m at Harvard, about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
I sit up and look at the dozens of pictures I’ve pinned on my board
above my tiny desk, a smile creeping over my face that is reflective and
tinged with sadness. I wish my dad could see me now, that I could hear his
deep baritone tell me how proud he is of me. I love my mom to pieces, but
nothing will ever stop me from missing my dad. I miss Lexi, my best friend,
too. She and I have been friends since we were in junior high, but we’re on
different paths right now and I need to let her live the life she wants,
regardless of my thoughts or opinions.
Pictures of us are littered across the board and in each one, Lexi and I
are smiling wide or behaving like goofs. Pictures of me and my mom, my
mom and dad, and me and my dad are also displayed. All the people I love
and need are on that board. My circle is small out of choice. I have lots of
people I consider friends but none I’d trust with my secrets.
My hand trails over the glossy image of me and my dad just before he
died and my heart aches a little. I wish he could see this. I wish he was alive
to see me fulfill this dream we’d had for me. Rolling my lips, I push away
from the desk, shaking off the melancholy.
I will not be sad today.
This is my adventure, and I’m going to make the most of every second I
have here. I worked my ass off to get here and I’m going to relish every
experience and get my butt out and meet new people, experience new
things. My small window looks out onto Mass Avenue and is a hive of
activity. The sounds of people going about their business filters through,
reminding me that I’m not alone.
I unpack my clothes and hang or fold
them away by season. Storage is minimal here so I only brought fall and
winter, and some key pieces I could layer. I can always get more when I go
home for the holidays. I’m drawn again to the view over Mass. Watching
the other students come and go fills me with a sense of belonging.
“I did it, Daddy. I got my dream college just like you said I would.”
Being a daddy’s girl made losing him so much worse and, every day
since, I’ve vowed to make this happen, to make him proud. I know my
mom misses him too.
