Triplane Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 It occurs to me that as I grow older I think more and more about the things that were and the things that could have been. I think about the day I was 11 and my father died. And I think about the day when I was 15 and pitched a perfect baseball game wishing that my father could have been there. I think about the day when I was 16 and met my wife of 52 years. And I think about the day when I was 17 and I quit high school. I think about graduating from college with Honors and Distinction. And I think about completing my Masters degree and then my Ph.D. I think about my two wonderful sons and how succesful they have been in life. And I think about how fragile time really is. I think about how just a small difference in the past could have changed so much of my life. But most of all I believe that, in the end, the things we'll all regret the most in life are the things we didn't do. I've never raced an open-wheeled car, I've never climbed a 20,000 ft. peak, I've never cruised down the Yangtze river, and I've never sailed across the Serengeti Plain at dawn in a hot air balloon. Listen to your heart, and do the things you've always dreamed of. Time isn't on our side..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Triplane, I've always figured that it isn't so much what you do as it is who you are that really matters. It's nice to see that, although you have done plenty, more importantly you are a good man. I'm pretty sure your dad would be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
