Day By Day
“Hi, Uncle Gibbs,” said Emily, stepping back to let him in. “Dad isn’t here.”
“Not here to see your dad,” he said, “I came to bring you this.”
She took the small object he handed her. “A day planner? Uncle Gibbs, you do know it’s May, right? And twenty-nineteen?”
“I know,” said Gibbs, easily, then added more softly, “I don’t pretend to know how hard it is, what you’re dealing with. But sometimes all you can do is take life one day at a time. So…”
He gestured to the planner, and Emily hugged him. “Thanks, Uncle Gibbs.”
“Anytime, kiddo.”
