![I’m feeling very fortunate tonight, to be living here where my family is. To have Dad and Jean over for dinner on a Sunday. To have their help and love in things both big and small. And not to put too fine a point on it, but to have my dad [period] right now feels like a blessing after a little medical scare he decided to have about two weeks ago. (He’s fine now. It’s fine.) But you know, gratitude nonetheless. #godblessgrandparents #grateful #spokanedoesntsuck](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/526609cbe4b0e47778327f0e/53050feae4b03a7f588aa2b5/5c3c3a3fe0c938964b674ec6/1547450950023/)
