It was bound to happen.
Today was the first day I didn’t take take or pick up my daughter from school.
Instead, I drove 50 minutes to my university for an all-day faculty development day.
When I got home, she was at her grandmother’s. After dinner, she went over to her great aunt’s accompanied by my wife.
I spent dinner time with her. That’s about it.
What did she do at school? From what I could tell, she went to the library, attended art class, and came home with a snotty nose. She also brought home two library books, so there’s that.
This evening, I walked into her bedroom where she was in her bed reading. I asked her about the gospel and the purpose of life. I prayed for her health and helped her blow her nose.
“Love you, daddy,” she said.
Inspiration to be there tomorrow.
