I hear you are supposed live without regrets...well how are you supposed to do that exactly. If you figure that out tell me how. I am going up to S.C to see my family for what may be one of the last major family trips in a while where we are all together. It is a retirement gift for my father whom has spent 33 years sweating and bleeding for this country. I am probably going to cry at his retirement ceremony for so many reasons. The last few weeks I have been "haunted by waters" if you will with regrets of my time spent with my father and mother. I guess most of my thoughts have been geared towards him though more just because of the whole retirement. This is a man that has done more than everything to give me everything, and I truly believe that blew him off a few too many times while growing up do to inmaturity and lack of knowledge. I regret that. My mind has been flooded with countless moments, still frames, and frozen images and memories of incredible times with my father, and also incredible times I could have had with my father, but failed to seize the moment. I think from now on I am going to make a huge effort to seize the moment with him every chance I get. I don't know what I am trying to write...I am tired....just random thoughts I guess....who knows?!?...right?

Here's to remembering what is worth remembering and forgetting what is worth forgetting...if that is even possible.
