Day 216:
In a previous post I'd mentioned another colloquialism as the title, "Everything Happens for a Reason". Surely that's the truth, Conor. When things don't necessarily go your way, rather than react and upend the situation further, it's often best to sit back and wait to see what shakes out of the tree. That's to say, assuredly some good will come out of it. Well Son, today we learned that we did not get the house we were vying for. In fact, somebody got a contract in on it literally hours before we did, and the contract was accepted... Disappointment...
After fuming about it for some time I decided to take a drive, make some calls, speak with some other area home builders, do some poking around online, and in fact, the good began to bubble up. When one door shuts, another invariably opens. Fact. And each time I lose sight of that, it's proven to me...
In spite of my enthusiasm for this new scheme currently developing in my ever active imagination, and understanding I'm going to need to do some serious selling to your Mother on this plan, I'm going to temper my desire to blab it on this blog and continue to fine tune my pitch. Though to be sure, if we play this hand ever carefully, we're talking jackpot, Son. I'm seeing a home that could be featured in a magazine! And what's more, it's totally do-able!!
It's time for a plan, Conor. An honest to goodness executable war theater and an opportunity to give Mommy everything she's ever wanted in a home, you a wonderful house to grow up in, and me the piece of mind to know that it's exactly right for all of us.
Now Boy'O, it's off to see your Washington Nationals dismantle the dreaded New York Mets with some colleagues... But stay tuned, because big and wonderful things are happening, Son. They're always happening. All you need is the right frame of mind.
I love you, my Lion Hearted Lad. So very much.
-Dad
