I’ve talked about him before but he deserves a lot more.
I was fortunate that in the 90s I had a Daddy. We didn’t have the idea or word back then but looking back he definitely was. He took an interest in us “young’uns” as he called us and taught me a lot. His name was Dick Borland.

Will you find some peace today? In chaos, take moments for your brain to recover. Breathe and refocus. It is so hard to see the good right now, but it's still out there, waiting to be found. If you can't find it, be it. 💜
