I think when things move slowly it’s hard to see progress
But sometimes events like today remind me that things continue to move in the right direction
For the last couple of years Father’s Day has been about me and the kids
That is all fine and well but w was absent or awkwardly present
This year we could all tell she wanted to be there
Not a grudging be there because of obligation
She made some of my favorite foods and bought me a gift
It was a nice day, no stress, no eggshells
And is everything perfect?
No but I am grateful for my highly imperfect life as it is today
Life is messy and imperfect
And I accept that
