Nothing like a hard day, and then coming home to find a fun surprise in the mail.

Nothing like a hard day, and then to be acknowledged as a “fixer” of all things.

Nothing like a hard day, and then be recognized as “Grandpa.”

Nothing like a hard day that brings tears, and then ending a hard day with the good kind of tears.

I am grateful for a black t-shirt.

I am grateful for the sweet heart of my daughter.

And I am grateful for hard days that remind us to be grateful for the little things in life.
