Gratitude #2

I'm grateful for the special time we had with my dad this weekend. You made him smile. You made all the nurses and other patients around him smile. You and your grandfather sat in dappled sunlight on the patio and made my world shine.

I'm grateful that we could take you to the hospital today for something that worked itself out, but the doctor made sure it was all okay. I'm grateful the choice to go to the hospital was not one that made our bills hard to pay this month. I'm grateful that you are okay little bean.

Gratitude #1

I am grateful for:
A friend who will comfort me by text message.
Being able to read constructive critique without letting it bring me down.
Calling home to chat with my mom, but getting an unexpected talk with my dad. He wanted to know how you are, and he loved the story of you screaming as your you ran down the hallway. I loved the moment we had together.
