I just learned a co-worker's son died last night in a motorcycle accident.
What an incredibly sad and life-changing event.
As the father of a son, I can't help but be sad and hope _selfishly_ that nothing like that happens to me, or my father for that matter.
I think it's time to review my life and ask myself if I'm doing everything I can to live the life I want to live... to cherish the time I spend with my kids... to take wonder in their discoveries... to be in awe of their development... to grow along with them (for them it will be new, but for me it will be long forgotten)...
and to just live, love and laugh.
