You know Mothers & Fathers love to see thier kids...It gets even more important as our parents grow older... my parents are in thier 70's now. In my line of work, I usually finish my working day at about 9pm. 2-3 times per week I run to my parents home B4 I head home. It's so cool, as one of them opens the door, you can see a smile and excitment on thier face. I walk into the kitchen area, I see a plate of food being kept warm on the stove. The plate has some left over food that they had for dinner, which they ate at about 6pm. My mom keeps it thier in anticipation of me stopping by. So I sit at the table, my mom brings me over the plate and we all talk as I eat. Then I leave...
I have this thought in my mind "I see my mom putting the plate in the refrig. on the nights that I don't show up"
And it makes me sad, that I didn't take the 10-15 minutes out of my day to spend in thier company, while they spend all day thinking "is he going to stop by tonight..."
A thought that makes you go "hummmmm"

John you are so right...Michael stops by a couple nights a week on his way to work just to say hi or hang out for a short while and when he doesn't I wonder, "Where is Michael? Is he ok? and How was his day?." Maybe I should try the plate of food and he'll stop by more. LOL

I constantly spent my half an hour to read this website's articles all the time along with a mug of coffee.

Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading? I'm trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
