Enjoy these days. They are special.
I remember when my sons were very young, people would tell me how fast time would fly and how soon they would be grown. I remember, also, thinking, "yeah, right." The here and now seemed to last forever then. And then, it was gone...suddenly and without warning.
My proudest achievement as a dad is that I have no regrets of wishing I had spent more time with my boys. My wife and I put watching and helping them grow above all else for 21 years.
Now, I have more memories than I have time to remember, and they are still creating more. My older son will see one of his compositions recorded later this year by Billy Hart and his combo, and my younger son will be umpiring in the Northwest League this coming season. I'll be watching baseball while listneing to my IPod.
