Thankful

First of all I'm still stuck on my iPhone so excuse the typos.

I've been in a funk lately. I'm not sure why. I just can't shake it. So tonight we go to eat before gabrielle's choir rehearsal and mikes ref meeting. I'm all upset because I'm all by myself and nothing to do.

At dinner I was laughing because gabrielle's meal came with a toy from Desciple Me. (I can't even spell that word close enough for spell check to help. That's pathetic.) then I remembered how much Mike loved that movie. I told Gabrielle it is because the mean guy fell in love with being an adoptive dad to those girls. Well Gabrielle said like you got to be my step-dad. She got up and hugged Mike and said I love you. Then Mike said, "You see he thought he didn't like kids. And when I was younger I thought I didn't like kids. But I'm so happy I get to be your step-dad.". I started tearing up. He started tearing up. She started tearing up.

It was one of those moments that just melt your heart. I'm amazed at how lucky I am. And unfortunately how I often forget how lucky I am.
