It had been over 20 years since I had gone on a run with all of my kids. Jessica had magically arranged this for me .Being a Dad has always been special to me maybe one reason was because I grew up without one but really I was crazy about all of them. No doubt I was the luckiest Dad on the planet.
Everyone gets busy with their own families and careers and times like today become rare.
Life is a series of fleeting moments that are ours to capture if we only will. I came up with that a few years ago
I had a little health scare that put an added urgency into this time. The reality is no one knows how many days we have. So needless to say I was looking forward to this time.
No matter how fast you would like to go that almost 67 years sets the pace
I had to catch my breath a few times but we managed a 2 mile run around the beautiful Haig Mill Lake
When they were young I would run at Berry and everyone would ride their bikes
At 13 Jessica ran with me for the first time,then Josh,then Justin.
Honestly I didn’t want that run to end but life marches on.
That was a most special gift. One that I will always carry in my heart
Love U Dad
