Dear God & Grandpa: thank you
I am crying right now. And they are tears of pure joy.
I am loved so much, it's almost absurd.
I was having an awful day today. Things did not go well in court this morning, mainly because the stupid girl didn't show up. I sat there at 9:15 a.m. and prayed for God to keep me calm. I am terrible about praying. I don't do it nearly enough. But this morning I felt like I really needed some help.
I kept calm in court. Danielle was there, and that helped, even though she was even more tired than I was. Of course, the girl didn't show up, and now I have to pay even more money to take even more action against her. It sucks.
So I've spent the past few hours filling out more forms, paying more money, and just hating this girl for doing this to me. For some reason, sad thoughts started running through my head. I don't know why. When I am down, it just kinda happens, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. I just have to let it pass.
I got home, and started making lunch. Writing out bills, and doing laundry. Then I went to get the mail.
Every other month my grandpa sends me a check for $100 because he loves me, is proud of me, and he himself is overall one of the most incredible human beings I know.
This month my grandpa gave me more than $1,000. I started shaking when I opened it. It had to be a mistake. I called him, and asked. He said he earned the money working with high school kids building a house over christmas break. He said he thought I could use the money more than him.
I am crying so hard right now, because I am in absolute awe that there are still people in this world who are so completely selfless and wonderful, and that I am lucky enough to be related to one of them.
I am not usually much of a religious person, but I truly believe God is looking out for me today. He may be continuing to put me through this trial with this girl, but He is still taking care of me.
