the last two weeks of my life have been very tuff. I have been through a full range of emotions and I am now emotionally and physically drained. on december 15th I lost my dad, he was an amazing man but I don't want to make this about him. I will say a little bit about him later. what I really want to say is at this time of year when we are all focused on gifts and celebration we sometimes forget about the ultimate gift that was given to us. but I wont get religious on you either. but I would like to talk about something I have been struggling with for the last two weeks, and that is time. we all live our lives like we are going to live forever but the truth is that many of us have a very limited time left and we never know when we will be called home. time is precious and once it is gone we cant get it back. for the last seven years dad and i spent a father son weekend fishing and hanging out. we had alot of great times over the last 40 years but now that he is gone i realize that wasn't enough. take a piece of advice and spend your time wisely, go see your mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters. take them fishing go to lunch go shopping it doesn't matter just take the time now while you have it before it is gone. nothing hurts more than wishing for something that you can never have. time will heal and I know dad is better off he is now out of pain.
a short bit about dad.
he was a viet naim veteran with 26yrs active military service retired army CW4 army pilot with his master wings. he was the recipient of 2 bronze and 1 silver star. after retiring from the army he was a school teacher so he has touched many lives throughout the years. he was an amazing man and wonderful husband to my mother and a fantastic father, grandfather and great grandfather. he will be missed by many.
