It all happens for a reason

So my Christmas plans got changed dramatically this year, I was supposed to go to Oregon to spend the weekend with my mom and all three of my sisters. Instead, due to the snowstorm, I went back to Gunnison and spent the weekend with my Dad and step mom.
It was probably one of the best times I have had with my Dad in years. I could not tell you the last time I spent an entire day in their house and I spent two days with them. Not only that but I spent two evenings with my step moms family. Spending time with them is usually pretty tense and there is a lot of bickering. But this weekend there was no fighting, just fun and laughter.
I also had a chance to sit and talk to my dad about my grandpa passing away and we had the chance to spend the afternoon with each other, even made cookies together.
I think that this weekend was supposed to be like this because it gave me the chance to get back with my Dad. I was very glad to be there and to get MY DAD back.
