Right Now

I was just enjoying a video game with my youngest son today when I realized how big he's getting. With the recent loss of my friend it reminded me how fleeting life is. Death is really just the conclusion of life's experiences. Actually death is always occurring. Each passing day is locked away forever in the vault of time. Never again will I hold my infant children again, gone are the days of fragile steps and babbled words. It reminded me that bedtime stories and good nite prayers are only going to take place for a few more years before they too are gone.

Today was a great reminder for me not to worry about tomorrow but to embrace the moment. Life is lived now. I need to be better at enjoying it for what it is.
