Day 31

One month down, eleven to go! This morning I got to go to breakfast with my Dad (aka Daddy) and Will, and tonight I am thankful that I was able to spend some time this weekend in the mountains with my Dad. Right now lots of things are changing for my family, and I have been much busier in life lately, as a result I have been feeling like I have not been able to spend much time, or as much time as I would like, up in the mountains which I love with my Dad whom I love (even more than the mountains!). When times are uncertain and change is present I think it is important to stay connected to family, to the ones you have and will always have an undeniable connection with. Have things ever been uncertain or uncomfortable in your family? I think this is a place form which we will all grow. I hope. Somehow I feel compelled to strengthen the bonds I have with my family, not that I can reconstruct it or pull it back together, but that I can strengthen and value all the bonds, and specifically the bond between father and daughter that was ingrained when I was born. I'm thankful I was able to spend some time back in my childhood home, that I was able to see Daddy and validate/value the connection that is there. Hopefully a trend that will repeat with grater frequency!
