Soon to be 40

Well as 40 approaches next week, I am thankful for being alive,  I am thankful for smiles and hugs from old friends.  I am thankful for laughter, especially from kids.

I am thankful for a roof over my head and my kids and wife asleep as I type.

I miss friends, we are too busy with life that it passes so quickly trying to keep up makes me tired.  i didn't get here without the love of others past present and future.

I got to hear the words I love you daddy, play with me daddy, tell me a story daddy, who is Jesus daddy?

I got to say I do, and I love you.

I had to say goodbye, too soon

My dreams went from president, actor, comedian, radio personality. to daddy, husband, father, and good friend.

I am still learning, I am still willing to learn.

I miss relationships, jokes and friends.

I am learning to slow down and listen, to be patient i don't always need the last word.

I want to help others as long as I draw a breath, teach my children to love others and forgive, lessons we learn side by side :-)

I always want to laugh, joke and look at every situation as an opportunity to love others.

My faith is part of who i am i want to be braver enough to express it and not be afraid that someone will not agree with me.

I want my body to last longer, so i can walk three girls down the aisle all at the same time, to save money of course.

I want my wife to see herself as I see her, beautiful.

I want family to get along while we still have family, a father-in law who would just talk to me would be  start.

I am thankful for so many of you, you just don't know how much I appreciate your part in the tapestry of my life.

Erin, thank you for loving me, I should always end with that.
