Some things never change...

Yesterday was a long day!  It was a day of travel, cramped airplanes, and a lot of hurrying up to wait. But... last night when I got to dad's house - it was perfect!  I walked in the door, and got the biggest hug EVER from J, JD, and from my dad!  Every long minute of the day was worth it! I took time to visit, and then I went to bed - I was exhausted.

This morning I got up early...6:30am.  I came down the stairs and started looking around.  I sat down and went through photo albums dad had saved through the years... looking at photos of his life, and all of the memories he has made. He has every photo we have sent him over the years of the kids, he has paintings the kids have made him hanging on the walls, and he has cross stitch patterns that I made when I was little still proudly displayed in his kitchen.

There is something about this house... so much has changed over the years but, when I walk into this house it is always the same. This house IS my dad and all things that are him!
