Circle of Trust

Sunday was the first Halloween where we didn’t go out trick or treating.  Our son was across town at a friends house and our daughter was studying.  It was a really weird feeling having been out walking the neighborhood with kids for the past 17 years.  Message to the younger guys that have kids to make sure to live in the moment, be present, and enjoy the kids while they are young.

I was giving myself a hard time for missing some halloweens and other events because of work.  Really wish I would have spent more time with the family and those days are about gone.  But I thought about what Radio Flyer was talking about yesterday and his trip to see his sons in St Louis and how much fun it was.  I started thinking about how I may have missed some things while the kids were younger but I will have plenty of opportunities going forward.  We  are out here trying to help each other become better fathers, husbands and leaders.  It’s never too late and you’re never too old to improve yourself and knowing that I took 2 days off next week to spend time with my kids when they are off school.
