38 years... lessons learned.... yet to do

[bigbillinsc]

well today at 7:11am i turned 38 yearsold... may not have a lot of years on me but i sure as all hail have the miles.

As a youngster i learned many lessons. some in school, some in life....some at the buisness end of mommies paddle. as i grew older and matured i learned that were many things i didnt know. today i am still learning.

now for just a few things that i do know.

i know to never leave my children or wife with out telling them that i love them. I DONT KNOW IF I WILL EVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE.

MY recent encounters with those in the medical profession have taught me that LIFE IS SHORT.

TOO DAMNED SHORT... We never know when the angel of death will kknock and tell us "TODAY YOUR SOUL IS REQUIRED OF THEE"

if you had asked me on the 5th of january of just this year what i would be doin on my birthday. i would have most likely said. spend time with the kids and then spend the evening with the misses... i would have never thought that at 38 i would be recoverin from quad bypass.

i reckon what i am tryin to say is.... hug and kiss and your familly as often as possible. even if they complain about. not enough love in the world and our kids need more than we can ever give them
