So after a long day at work I came home to my little man and a Tivo full of reruns. I happened to start watching Oprah's Big Australian Adventure and then it came - the story that brought on the ugly cry. A dad, just a year older than me, diagnosed with liver and bile cancer (bile is what my dad has) and he has two young kids and a beautiful wife. It got me thinking, these two little boys have a chance of losing their dad without ever getting to know him. How cruel this disease really is. I, on the other hand, have had a long time with my dad, and how lucky I am for that.
There is not really much I want to say today other than life is way too short to worry about money - having too much or too little, too short to worry about love - having it or not, too short to worry about being able to afford the right car, the right house, or the right wardrobe. It's about enjoying every moment of every day. There are no guarantees that the road of life is paved with easy living. This isn't my soap box, but rather just an appreciation for time, my family, my friends and all of my life's experiences, good and bad!
Watch this! It's really sweet!
