As I see my old husky dog getting older and weaker, as I watch both my mom and dad wither with age, and even as I feel my old bones tired from the adventure-filled life we've lead and my beautiful wife with her face and her smile, I feel privileged to have risen with the day and be here now, in this moment, writing these words.
I have no idea where the road of life will lead me next. I have no idea when either of my parents will move on to their own next-great-adventures. I enjoy each conversation with them now, each recalled moment, every story they share, every laugh we laugh together.
All I know is that I am honored to have shared the road with some people, and will miss them when they are no longer riding alongside.
