Last night I went to dinner with Toby and her parents at Pappadeaux. Wonderful fish, wonderful atmostphere. But the most wonderful part of the evening was the company.
[I've been spoiled the last week or two to have so many people I love here in Atlanta. My sisters and brother in law, Toby, Phil, Jordan, and others. Elspeth will be here on Friday from Germany in her yearly return home. I've also been spoiled by having Beth here for an extra six months.]
Toby sadly left for Ann Arbor this morning but I am so thankful to have that dinner with her family last night. Sadly, her brother Mark had already left for Athens but we managed to carry on a conversation without him =) It's such a simple thing, really, eating dinner with old friends that are like family, their family like your family. But I suppose I can't seem to get over the beautiful simplicity; I stumble trying to write about it but it means the world to me.
Toby, thank you for thinking of including me on the night before you left. Thank you ever so much to your parents for always including me in important family nights, always welcoming me.
It feels like every night I have something to do, someone to see, something to take care of, something to clean. I'm frankly exhausted and I won't get a break for another week or so. But it's worth it. Having all these wonderful people in my life is worth it.
