is what it is

I am sure that at 30, you're not supposed to cry when your dad leaves.
Or again 20 minutes later when you drop your kid off at school.
Can you find Waldo?
But. I guess it is what it is.
I am very grateful to have such a selfless, wise and caring friend in my father.  We all wish we lived in the same place.

We wish the exact same thing about this guy.  Happy Birthday, Uncle Don!!!  We miss you!

I've got lots of things to share from the past days as we continue to struggle to communicate sans internet, but this morning, I'm going dive into work at the Seminary instead.  Before I start to cry again.

    So glad you had such a good visit with your Dad--he seems like a sweetheart. I loved reading the last post, about how your normals are so abnormal to most. :) It made me smile and it was sweet to read your affection for your life now, even though it entails hard stuff like being away from beloved family.

    Normal to a family that loves one another. I remember well driving away from my mom's place 9 hours from my place and crying for about the first 20 miles. That video camera rolls in my heart and mind--seeing her waving good by from her deck. Now I am misty eyed too and Mom has been in Heaven now for four years.
