Wise Guy

My dad can be very silly, which is fun. But sometimes, he turns into the wisest man I know.

This morning I sent an email to my parents, explaining finances and the less-than-extravagant gifts we're able to give this year due to our saving to buy a house. My dad sent back these kind words.

"If we are able to still smile and mean it when we see each other that is all the gift that is really important. So please build your future the best way you can because it will last the rest of your lives."

And my mother's thoughts were similar. I'm so lucky to have had such wonderful people teaching me how to be in this world.
