Less is more. Unless you're standing next to the one with more. Then less just looks pathetic.

The Best Thing that Happened to Me Today

My daddy called me at 7:30am today. On other days, that might be the worst thing that could happen to me. But today, it was the best thing that could have happened to me.

Last night, I dreamed that my dad died. I didn't know how or why that thought crept into my subconscious as I drift to a deep and restless sleep, but it did. I was just so devastated, I barely can breathe.

My phone rang at 7:30am and it took me a couple of seconds to realize that the noise came from my phone, which was right next to my pillow. I wasn't even half awake when I answered, whispering so I didn't wake Sandra.

"Darling? Are you awake?" I heard the familiar sound of my dad's voice. I only answered with a grunt, but I was so relieved beyond belief.


To those that might have not figured this out yet, I am very much my daddy's girl. And I would trade anything to be with him right now. There's nowhere else I'd rather be than home.
