I have been thinking a lot about life in the past few weeks and have come the conclusion that life is short. I have realized that we have no way of controlling what is going to take place next week, next month on next year. I have come to realize that I must live every day to the fullest and love every moment of it.
I began to think this when my father in law was told that he had cancer. Then on September 2 2009 I lost my own father to cancer. When I lost him I not only lost my dad, I lost my best friend and my personal hero.
Now today once again we are faced with another round of cancer as my father in law was told that his cancer is back. Over the last year he has grown on me, and he has become some what of a sounding board for my thought and problems.
So what is the point of this, you ask? Well, I am now a husband and father myself. I love my wife and child and would do anything for them. I now try and live every day to the fullest with them, and I want to fill their lives with good memories. Even when things are tight for our little family, I am determined to fill our time with fun and love.
I have plans for my little family and want to show them the world, literally...whether it be by plain, train, auto, or ship.
Life is short and why waste it always working and trying to make a buck, when the most important things in the world are right here at home.

I'm with on this one. My Vietnamese friend told me the other day that he finally figured out it was time to start wearing that "special occasion" shirt that hangs in the closet. I think to many of us are waiting for something special to come along so we can stat living life like we want to. Start now, use every opportunity, every moment, everyday to enjoy this life, right here, right now. Good on you Steve.
