And just like that we are checked in for our flight back to Indiana. It has been a fast 28 days. I was blessed to almost work just my schedule all month. That gave me a lot of time with my girl. She is quite the different roommate than her brother.
She isn't into the active activities where there are a lot of people. She has come a long way in her social anxiety, and she did everything I did except go to work and go to the Halestorm concert. So, we did attend two concerts in the park, shopped, went up north to visit her relatives (that's another story), went to Susan's a few times for dinner, and took a hike. She helped Pat many days on the boat trailer and with the boat. She got right out there with him. I don't know how much help she was, but she was there. I think it is good for her to be exposed to all the things he can teach her. They spent one afternoon out on the boat with one of his friends.
We had some great conversations. We talked about parenting (she still doesn't ever want to be one), religion, sin, mental health issues, ancestor history, television shows, friends, and future plans. We watched some movies and binged on some Netflix. Together.
We listened to her music. Not mainstream. And it made me think how blessed young people are now. With the internet and all the music apps they can find all kinds of talent. Back when I was young, we were at the mercy of what the radio stations decided we could listen to.
It was 28 days of one on ones and a lot of together time with all the attention on her. It was good for both of us. She is the child I waited for, for twenty years. And she is everything amazing.
