So, as most know I came down early and spent some time with Some family. This is my "surrogate" family from my Marine Corps years... A family that took a wayward and struggling18 year old kid and welcomed him to their home.
I made these plans not knowing that they were fractured. Dad passed at the hands of a negligent pharmacist and the family was never the same.
Today was the first time in several years that three of my sister's have been in the same room together. To see them hug, laugh, cry, and share their lives again was incredibly rewarding. To hug them all in the same night and tell them how much I miss and love them was awe inspiring.
I stayed in Kansas City until almost 10:00pm before heading to Lincoln. I missed all of those things that I once thought would make this trip special and yet I have zero regrets. Dad guided this trip to bring some healing to a fractured family and I am so grateful and humbled to have been this fortunate. I got I to Lincoln at 1:00 am... I will see you all tomorrow; more grateful than ever to be blessed to share my thoughts with DSA.
