Hard. That's how i describe my life. one word. four letters. and oh so many reasons. Hi, my names Cadhla and i lived in Ireland with my Mum for 15 years now of my life, pasted tensed word there lived. i'm moving to Minnesota to live with my father who i've never met but have talked to on the phone.my mum was there in minnesota on a business trip met a guy they talked and did "it" came home missed her period took a test it was positive
she told the father (gordon) about me, he came over when i was a baby so i don't remember then left to go back to his home. but he made sure to send money anol. we did talk on the phone a bit until i was about 12 then we just stopped talking (he still sent money because of childcare)
i was in high schools so it was harder to talk him
I easily made friends on the football team, i was a mid-fielder my school didn't have a hockey team but i still made friends with a bunch of people, public school was the best bar homework and teachers
when i was 13 my mum was diagnosed with skin cancer and lung cancer i took it hard. really bad. i hate doctors. i used to wanna be the one.But they lie. They told me they'd be able to safe her. They promised. But she wasn't. Some stupid intern. Messed up her labs. They didn't even check. although when in surgery they realised the cancer had spread it hurt like hell when they said she wasn't gonna make it up cried a lot . I mean what else can you do.Ireland is unbelievable honestly i love it the banter, my girlfriends and the boys whoop, now i mean let's get real, i'm 15 i'm meant to be in my hoe stage although im more preoccupied by mum. really everyone is still in there hoe stage it starts at 13 ends before 18 that's how it is where i live but i'm moving at a country who knows what it'll be like.
Now my relationship with my mum was great she was thriving good job single mum she raised me well, i'm still a virgin never drank and didn't do drugs so that's good we had the best girl chats she was prefect we always let me have sleepover with a week's notice. my mum has actually had this thing about names and there meaning take my name it's Cadhla (of americans or whoever's reads this is kay-la spelt irish) "People named Cadhla are usually beautiful, caring, compassionate girls. They melt the hearts of those around them. Cadhla can be emotional at time and hard to get through to,Cadhla has a goofy side that not all people may no about she is also a very funny girl and can crack a joke at the most serious time,Cadhla has a mean streak but always regrets hurting other people's feeling.If you ever find yourself a Cadhla you are one looks person Cadhla's a keeper." or that's the meaning behind it so mum said anyway.
now about me as i said i'm a virgin, never drank, never smoked, never done drugs, i've kissed 2 people 13/14 music is my happy place dentist scare me i go to discos i play football but my favourite place is the rink ino ino 2 sports but i'm quitting football since i'm moving (GAA is great recommend 100/5 ) but the rink oh the rink is my home my mum says i get that from my dad who she doesn't talk about often. idk i've talked to him. apparently he could have been a big shot hockey player.
Anyway let's fast forward a bit
rn i'm on a plane 35E and i'm going to usa were my dad is how fun. the man i'm sitting beside keeps mumbling, i'd tell him to shut up but i don't have the will power the other one beside me is a boy close to me age 15 maybe 16 anyway i didn't mean to but i saw he texted his friends saying there was a cute girl beside him. Now it was either me or Granny and i'm not gonna lie granny was cute but i don't think she was his type but hey i won't judge , ok i would not the point tho
any way this is was i'm wearing
(were whatever u want lovs)I wanted to say something but held back i kept glancing at his phone. Whattt how can u not. his friend said to talk to me he said he would, thank god i leaned back when he said "Hi nice to met you" i waved my hand "Hey nice to meet u too" no way did i just say that i look like an idiot now- "So you going to USA to then or are you going somewhere else after we land?" he asked " Yup i'm heading to USA to live with my dad how about you?" " oh my family are coming home from holiday that's my granny grandad mum and dad" "ah i thought u had an American accent so what's America like i'm never been" i can't believe what i was thinking moments ago about his gran whoops. Anyway he told me about USA anol then asked for my snap i was hesitant but gave it to him his name was Aidan we talk most of the flight about whatever came to mind finally though our flight ended i said good bye and got off i actually had another flight to take me to Minneapolis but it was fine and didn't take long.
anyway when i got there i looked around for my dad he said he'd be here i push past a few people and seen him looking around "Dad!" "hm oh Cadhla Your Here" aha hey dad" i ran and gave him a hug he hadn't change since i called to tell him the news of mum (that's how we knew how eo looked)
Now i'm not going into any details but we went to dads house had dinner and talked about a lot about school,mum,hockey,football,mum,hockey , mum and more hockey and about ourselves after i went to bed falling asleep dad signed me up for hockey the on in our district there called District 5 Midget hockey team (had to change it cuz i changed the ages) tho i barely make it in cuz of my birthday ya girl barley making these age groups if id come over a year ago id be in peewees i cant stand peewees, i start tomorrow or i meet the team i can bring my stuff i just have to wait 3 days before becoming an official member this will be one long day
and with that thought i fall asleep
