Through the Looking Glass

Day 6


Day 7
I flew to Texas to visit my daughter. I am here until Tuesday evening and it is so perfect. Time together to just talk and hang out together is something I cherish. We are very close and having her move halfway across the country has been really hard but I am so proud of the amazing woman she is and seeing her in her home and her new community is inspiring. šŸ’™

Day 8
The county fair is something that always signals the beginning of fall to me. It is technically still summer when it happens in our county but it was one of the first field trips of the school year so it always marked the transition from summer to fall. Another thing that means fall is the Indian summer we have. Late September through mid October means warm days and higher temps than in the summer. Beach days are plentiful and all of the locals are trying to enjoy the incredible weather before things start to change. Having a beach day be a marker of fall may seem kind of funny but really those warm days really make me realize that soon it will be cooler and rainy and I should enjoy every last minute.
So special - really glad you are getting that time with her and Iā€™m sure sheā€™s feeling so blessed to have her momma there with her! Enjoy it and kudos to her for the big move!
 
I thought about this and about some mates I've had for a very long time. Specific traits don't seem to cover it, it's more than that.
We'd do anything for each other, although being blokes, we're unlikely to ask.
We laugh at and with each other.
We know the others successes and struggles, it's all good.
We might not chat for months but carry on as if it was yesterday.
If needed, we'd be there.


After writing this I'm going to phone a couple of lads I haven't spoken to in a while. šŸ˜€
