A Day in Time
Yep, that is what today is. Time continues to be monitored on this earth. It just keeps ticking. I have been sitting here thinking about all that time that keeps passing me by.
Nineteen years ago, I was with my wife at the hospital. I held her hand while she gave birth to our first child. It is so amazing to think that this time has passed me by. I picture in my mind how small and fragile she seemed. I remember being so paranoid about her the first few nights at home. I couldn't trust the monitor we had between our room and hers. I finally gave up and brought her into our room to sleep in the bottom drawer of my dresser. I could just reach over and touch her.
Last night, she drove back to campus. I was restless. I lay in bed with the cell phone close by, just waiting for her to call. I am told that feeling will never go away. Since that day I have been a father and will never stop being one. Never.
I wonder if I will have the same feeling thousands of years from now. Will I hold a Urinum and Thumin just to know where she is or any of my children for that matter? Isn't that amazing. The family chain will never end. The responsibility will never end. Most of importantly the love and bonds will never end. What a marvelous reason to keep living right. I encourage you all to do the same.
Happy Birthday!
