Happy Wednesday, Thea!
This post is a little weird, because you’re literally five feet away from me as I’m typing it, lol.I’m really glad that Mom asked me to pick you up from school again today, as it’s really awesome to get to spend more time with you, on my off-weeks. I love that when you’re here, I don’t have to worry that your homework isn’t being done, and that we can knock out your reading. I had a lot of fun going to the mall with you, and am really glad we were able to get you ice cream, and hang out.
I’m so glad that you’re enjoying reading To Kill a Mockingbird with me, as much as I am reading it again. I try to read it about every decade, and find that I love it more and more each time I read it.
I’ll be seeing a lot of you tomorrow, too, since I’m taking you to school, you have therapy tomorrow at school, AND mom asked me to pick you up after school again! Looks like it’s my lucky week! We can finish up your homework packet tomorrow after school, and you won’t have to worry about it for the rest of the week!
So, the song of the day kinda has some meaning behind it, too. I used to listen to this band a lot when I was younger, and this was one of my favorite of their songs… Earlier this year, they played a 20th anniversary concert in Portland, and, since you were at mom’s that week, I went to see them. For the tour, they were playing two nights in each city, playing two of the albums they’d recorded, in their entirety. I went on the night that they played a different album than the one this song was from, so I was pretty sure they wouldn’t play it, but, at the end of the concert, they came out and played it as an encore, and, right in the middle of it, I got a text from you, that mom had gone out, and that you couldn’t fall asleep. We chatted until she came home, and so now I always think of you, and that night when I hear this song. <3
Lastly, make sure that you log into the Insta today, as I’m putting all three stories back up for you to vote on, since you all missed them when they were up before. The link is in Monday’s post. ;)
Have a great day at school today, I love you billions,
-Dad
