As we go through this thing we call life, we come across all kinds of people. Great role models, rock stars, wonderful lifetime friends, and of course assholes! The sad thing that I have noticed.... assholes seem to do better than nice guys. It seems that they have sold their souls for advancement.
Then there people like my mother. A nicer person you will not find....and then what happens, she has a stroke and still, she never lost her smile! Since my folks have moved to Phoenix, me and my brothers rarely get together. I miss that! I miss my folks. Most of all, I miss my mom.
I'd like to think that I fell into a fairly decent category of person. Yet, MS...cancer....death of my wife. What's the deal? I don't worry about though, what good would that do? None. I have had a great life! Twenty five plus years of marriage, two great children, I enjoyed my job very much.... What else is there?
So now my children go into the world. I am both excited and frightened at the same time. I was only 17 when I met the woman I would marry...my son is almost 17. My daughter is almost 24. I feel so old.
So, as I move on in this world. I have absolutely no regrets! I have made lifelong friendships that I cherish! I have Bob, Tim, Pat, J.K., Betty, Tom, Kyla, the list goes on and on! Some from first grade.
Along my way has been a nice ride so far..I have a long way to go yet!
Happy Trails
