Back from Hiatus
Well,
The summer classes didn’t go quite as well as I would have liked, but I ended up with a B+ in both classes, so I guess that’s not too horrible. My GPA is at a 3.65, and with graduation set for December, I’d like to see if I can somehow pull it up to a 3.7 to graduate magna cum laude. Where it is now, I’d graduate cum laude, which is okay too.
Please keep my dad, Bruce, in your prayer and thoughts. He has been in the hospital since May, which is why I haven’t really been posting. I have been taking the weekends to go how to Lansing, Michigan. This has been exhausting me, having done it for the past five weekends, so this weekend I decided to stay in Pittsburgh and just rest. I’ve been spending a long time talking with my Dad and learning his life story, and he has overcome so much in his life. I am not sure how much time we have left, but one thing I am grateful for is that there are no loose ends between us. He has been the kind of Dad that I could always be open and honest with. Anything I have wanted to say to him, I could do so without repurcussion or fear of being rejected. That kind of acceptance is hard to find.
Peace and love to all of you. I’ll be around now a little more since my Dad has insisted that I take a few weekends off.

Prayers for your Dad. I struggled so to have my grade point average be really high. Know what no one ever ask to see my grades. Judi
Are you kidding? That’s a great GPA! And yes, prayers for your father.
So sorry to hear about your dad. It’s so good there is no unfinished business between the two of you and you have this time to spend with him. My prayers are with you and your family.
You are blessed to have a good relationship with him and he sounds like the kind of father that we all would love to have had. I am sorry he is not well but glad that you are both sharing so many memories now. Rest well and he is in my prayers…you both are.
