Poolside

Summer means half day Fridays at DK and I never really appreciated them. They always seemed like more trouble then they were worth...until yesterday. I was hot, tired and cranky and figured I'd go chill out by my parent's pool. On my way there I ran into my brother who mentioned that the kids were just getting ready to go in the pool, so I decided to just go with them. In the end it turned out to be just me and Grace and it was possibly the best afternoon in my life. Spending the day with her really makes you realize how truly wonderful life is and that sometimes you need to just take a deep breath and slow down and appreciate it. We swam, made whirlpools and played marco polo. I felt like a silly kid again. There was lots of laughing and lots of hugs. I really don't know how I ever got by in life without her.
