This song puts life priorites right

[Bigdog]

I heard this song on the radio the other day and to me it what is important in life. I told my friend about it who has missed most of his children experiences while they grew up. Even though he is a very successful business man, the words really hit home to him. I don't know how to put it here (sorry) but the name of the song is "Don't Miss Your Life" by Phil Vassar.

No problem. When I first heard, I was like that really hits the nail on the head about life and priorities at least for me.

So, so true.

Happy to say that I've been blessed with few regrets in that area.

Spent this weekend watching my 12 year old daughter play basketball. 90 minute commute. Hot stuffy gym. Backbreaking bleachers.

I love having opportunities to literally cheer for my loved ones in life. Sports is a great outlet for that but certainly there are others. Telling them how you love them, and finding good in them even during a difficult loss. Being their fan. That's what we did yesterday.

We have 4 kids. The other three are 25, 22 & 20. This 12 year old is our swan song of adolescence and I so appreciate it. Soon "daddy" will become a less frequent refrain along with hand holding, kisses on the forehead, and requests to "play with me".

I grabbed my wife's hand as we headed into the gym this weekend and told her I didn't want to miss that opportunity to "be with her" because you never know how much is left.

Good stuff.
