Dear Dad,
Every once in a while I'll be in town and we will have a little spare time on our hands so you and I will do something I have grown to love.
You will pull out your penny and nickel collections, and the piles of change you have accumulated, and you and I will spend a couple hours going through the coins, checking dates, and trying to fill the holes in your books.
I have come to think of those times as pretty special, something just for you and me.
Well, I was home from church sick and got to looking at the jar of coins my girls have been saving for Disneyland and decided I should go through them to see if I could fill a few holes in your collection.
I texted you for pictures of your books and, what do ya know, you were home sick too.
It was a good day and if we have to live hundreds and hundreds of miles away, then this was almost as good as sitting on your bed and looking through coins together.
I love you, dad.
Sincerely, Lori
