My world got a whole lot better today as my dad got to go home for the day. Miles and I worked hard to make the banner and we got balloons for his homecoming party. He doesn't officially come home for a few more days, but I was so happy to spend his 'day pass' at Mimi And Grandpa C's house with my little family and my brother as well. I'm so proud of my dad for how hard he is working on his recovery. It's still going to take time, but I have faith that every day will only get better.
We also face timed with cousin Charlotte tonight and Miles said, "grandpa C's home from the doctor Charlotte!" And "here is my baby. She is called Emma!"
Tonight while holding my babies I read through a journal my dad made for me when I graduated college. He saved and printed off every single email I wrote him during those 4 years (which was almost daily) and bound it into a book. It's amazing to have those memories and letters between me and my dad and have documentation of the highs and lows of college. Its also fun to go back and see when I started to mention my 'friend' Mitch ;)
