this morning #1591.

this morning, dad asked me if i wanted a ride to school again. he’s been offering to drive me a lot lately. i think it’s his strange way of trying to find time to connect with me. usually though, he doesn’t even try. today, for the first time in a while, he tried. “i get that you’re fed up with mom. she’s been a handful lately. i’m not saying that i’m ok with you yelling at her like you did yesterday but i get it. i’m at my wit’s end with her too. can i ask a favor though?” i nodded “yes” & he continued with his plea. “we’re all on the same team. we need to have a sit down. talk things out. come to an understanding. try to find peace.” i agreed. “great. how about tonight?” i said “ok” & he smiled. then we stayed silent for the rest of the drive.
