You don't know what you've got till it's gone. That saying is so very true. Most of us don't realize what's right in front of our face till we don't have it anymore. Riding a bike, playing games, playing with your kids. I know there were a lot of times were my daughter wanted to play with me or even just sit on my lap to see what I was doing and I told her to go play. Often the family and I would just sit around the house wondering what to do instead of going to do something. Not that I cant just go and play with my little one or just up and go bowling or something I realize now how precious that time is. Who knows the next time ill be gone for a year plus. I know it's hard to do but people in general need to look at what they have. Every minute that you don't play with your kids instead of getting to that new level or looking at the web site is lost forever. You will never get that im back. Every moment you spend flipping through the channels on the TV or sitting there staring at the wall, you could be spending learning a new hobby or joining your wife, friend or child in whatever there doing. After I get home, im not just going to sit there anymore, or watch a movie that ive seen a hundred times. I just regret not seeing this before. Before I practically lost everything that mattered most to me. If you read this, don't shoo your kids away for something that can be done later. Go spend time with your family, friends, those who matter. You'll never know when suddenly, there not there to talk to, to hold, to love.
Thanx for reading
