RE: If you only had 24 hours to live ... (5 SBD Giveaway - see rules at the bottom of the post!)

Me too buddy. I fail so many times at that. I'm stressed out at times, checking my cellphone, my mind is drifting. Often my realization of how much I love my family comes when kissing my sleeping son goodnight. I often think; "Tomorrow I'll be 100% present" Often I fail. But sometimes I don't. And those moments and hours are the best. I mean, that's life happening right then and there. Your kid asking the same questions over and over. "What kind of car is that dad?" "I see a tractor!" It's hard to play "man walks over railroad 100 times in a row on the living room floor" but it means so much to your kid. And it strikes me every day how fast they grow up. It sounds so cliche, but it's true. And you've only got 5-6 years. After that you're not that cool anymore. I try to remind myself of that as often as possible :)

I totally understand! Let's work hard now so that we can gain several more years of being "cool"!
