Live a life today that will fill you with joy tomorrow.

When the house is crazy with kids, pets, noise, transportation ...it's easy to get lost in the chaos.

Time slips by.

You look down and the boy who laid on your chest every night is giving you an arm bar at 9 years old. (My son Nathan)

I feel regret at night when I lose my patience and snap at one of my kids. I can do my best the next day however to heal and fix the situation.

When they're gone, there are no do overs.

What we made of this time is cemented in their memory and yours.

When you're sitting with your wife as old grandparents, what will you talk about? What will fill your thoughts?

Memories of your kids.

Live a life today that will fill you with joy tomorrow.
