countdown

yesterday, i called my dad, just a quick phone call to ask him a simple question...and it ended up turning into the highlight of my day!! once i got my question answered, my dad went through the normal "how are you doing? what are you up to?" questions...which i answered. then we talked a little about what my future living arrangement might look like and so on (my dad's always thinking...). and then...out of nowhere, he asked me how many days i have left until everything is finalized, and i didn't know! i'm always aware of the MONTHS, but not the days. and to my amazement, my dad had a countdown and was able to tell me EXACTLY how many days i have left. do you know how much that meant to me?? it meant the WORLD!! something so simple as knowing a specific number can send the biggest message about how much he loves and cares for me! thanks dad!

oh, and by the way, in case you were wondering...it was 112 days to go. so now i guess there's only 111 days...
