good

it's been a long day.

went to church. had coffee with L. met dad at the airport. drove the four hours to the motherland.

then dad and i walked into the same room in the same funeral home that grampa was in ten months ago... and back into family that i didn't realize how much i have missed over the last decade and a half.

i've said it here before, that life gets so crazy and busy that it is hard to do all the things that you want to, and unfortunately it is the relational things that tend to get dropped.

tonight, not having made more time for my extended family seems like the stupidest thing ever.
