Sometimes the way things happen and the timing of events is an interesting thing to me. I was just reading the entry from my parents’ final visit, https://blog.herbthiel.com/day-5-060706/, and my dad was talking to the girls about Abigail’s report card, all A’s and one A-, compared to his, 75% in deportment and telling them how important education is when Abigail showed me this:

Good job, Abigail. We’re very proud of you.
Congratulations!
I’ll pass that on to her. She worked hard for it.
