Day 260

I am grateful for Jylle being able to move in with my dad. She starts college on the 26th and will encounter a routine fairly similar to the one I had when I went to college. Live at home. Drive for 20 minutes to school. Drive back. It's going to be so nice for my dad to have someone to talk to, to know there's someone else living there. And Jylle will have free room and board. She'll do the cooking and the shopping, and he'll not only provide the money for groceries, but he'll give her spending money too. I love me a symbiotic relationship.

Thank You, Lord, for this great arrangement.

Day 1

I'm grateful for my dad.

Got to go to church with him today, which is always lovely, and I'm just so terribly thankful to have him in my life. He's become one of my best friends, and I love that we can talk about all kinds of things and miss flights because of it. (Mom never let us live that one down.) Since losing my mom, having him in my life is more precious than I could have imagined. He'll be 82 next month, and his presence in my world makes it a saner, safer place.

Thank You, Lord, for my daddy.
