I have been reflecting more about life, childhood, friends, and what life is lately. Life is a gift, and the recent passing of my mother is a challenge. Some days I am happy, some sad, and some I just want to call a friend to say hi. My wife and children are a great comfort to me, and they remind me of my childhood. As a little boy I remember how mom was magical, because she was always there! Don't get me wrong dad was great too, but dad worked outside the home. We would see him some mornings and every day he was home after work, but mom was always there. Working, playing, laughing, and crying together with me and my brothers. I wanted to say Thanks Mom!
Now that I am grown with my own kids, I am my dad - but my wife is mom now. I see in my kids the same wonderment I held as a child, and it makes me happy. As goes the circle of life, years from now my children may see the same in their children.
