Journey of a lifetime

What a wonderful adventure this has been. A journey of a lifetime that will not soon be forgot. What had started a terrible reality has become almost a fantasy if not for the fact of its truth. As I look back on my life I am ashamed by my lack of concern for others and my ignorance of what truly is important in this one lifetime we are given. Maybe it is lack of maturity in the past but I most certainly refuse to discard anyone or any moment that comes into my life again. In tragedy there is greatness, and in weakness there is strength. It is all a matter of perception. What was a saddening moment for my son has become one of our greatest joys and for that I am thankful. Never take a moment for granted. Not even the smallest. For we will never be able to attain it again. It is lost forever.
To those from my past, I am sorry for not appreciating you. To those in my present, I love you. And those in my future, I welcome you.
