Thankful for Dads

I have a wonderful dad. I could talk about him for hours. Today, once again, I was reminded of how great he is and of his continued love for me.

This morning I woke up early, as usual, to head for the gym. As I walked up to my car, it looked like my front passenger window had large chunks of ice on it. But, as I got closer I noticed that it was shattered and the glass was all over the inside of my car. I was in shock. I was walking back to my apartment thinking that maybe it got so cold and something was wrong with my window that caused it to shatter. I thought a little more and wondered if there was anything left in my car that someone would think was worth stealing. I had left my planner on the front seat under a CD case. I walked back to my car and it was gone. There was nothing valuable in my planner, but I still felt violated. I was drawn to tears and the first person I thought to tell was my dad. I called him and we worked through everything all together. I contacted the police, who came and wrote up a report, although no suspect had been seen. The officer was very kind and I say thank you to her!

I had to pass some students off in a nursing lab at BYU and therefore didn't have time to take care of things to get my car fixed. My dad was on it! He contacted the dealer and they came to pick up my car and it was fixed by 3p.m. Thank you to them too! I just got off the phone with my dad a little bit ago and he reminded me that together we can get through anything. I agree! I also have to say that with Dirk Driscoll helping you, anything is possible! : ) I do have THE GREATEST DAD!

P.S. I also have to thank Heidi Robison for calling me. I had already seen the damage done to my car, but she called to make sure and offered her help. Thanks, Heidi! I also thank Sue Ashton, the wonderful Nursing TA that I teach with for giving me a ride to the dealership to get my car. I love you Sue!

And I would like to quote Morrie Schwartz: ". . .we need each other more than we know."
