i don’t watch news.  i don’t keep up with weather, outside of a quick peek out on the balcony, unless i’m checking the forecast for packing.  but it was a common occurrence for my dad to call asking if we were okay and then explain all the terrible weather that he was seeing on the news around us.  it was actually kind of funny because a lot of time he would be worried about tornadoes or something and it would be bright and sunny here.  today, i found out that i don’t have to miss those calls.  my dad’s wife is up north visiting her family and called me this morning to ask if we were okay.  she said she saw some bad weather around us and was worried (it was just overcast in my backyard).  my heart swelled.  i miss my daddy so much but he would be so proud to know that we’re still looking out for each other.
