This last day before I go away

Description

I was tempted to make a swing down your way this morning, though I know it’s an exercise in futility. I told my elderly father that I was going for a drive, when he popped up from his recliner and started to put on his shoes. Instead of going southeast alone, we drove southwest to the coast. I spent the day with my dad, stopping for lunch in Taft by the bay. I’m grateful that I allowed providence to steer me from disappointment. Even the rain stopped during our two hours at the sea. Time is valuable and I prefer to spend it with those who want to be with me.
