It was great to see my daughter this weekend. Liz and I took her to Sam's Club to buy her supplies. This was done as a purely defensive measure. That kept her from "Shopping at Dad's".

We got there at the insane hour of 9:00am. Most days, Sam's has what they call Business Hours where they are open for those who are lucky enough to have Business Memberships. Today was not that day.

What it did do was give us some time together without the hustle and bustle that normally comes with a visit to such a place.

I think that is what I appreciated the most.

Time.

That most precious quantity what is here one minute, gone the next.

One thing I have hopefully learned from this stroke is that I can not take time for granted.

I also received the best gift a parent could get for Valentine's Day.

My daughter called me and told me two words. Those words were "Thank you."

Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
