Caught My Eye (06.15.16)

Happy birthday, Dad. You're another year older, and I know you that much less. You did instill in me a love for books, not by anything you did, of course, but because libraries were my safe haven and new adventure when you walked away from my life those years ago. And, though your presence has been spotty through the years, here's a campaign I noticed and will support because more kids deserve the haven I found those years ago.

I know it seems weird, blogging about a man I barely know and share a lot of DNA with, BUT his life choices got me to where I am now; not living at home, working at a job that I somewhat like, looking for a man that is NOT like him to marry, and never wanting children. I feel like this world is hard enough... why should I depress another kid by bringing them into the world, right?

Anyways... all the best to you this week. Life is short so enjoy it to the fullest. RIP Grandpa and RIP Christina Grimme. #youwillbemissed
