Bubbie is recovering from a bout with pneumonia brought on by exhaustion. He slept the day away and was woken by Sweet Pea late in the afternoon to go to the doctor’s office. He laid there momentarily looking up into Sweet Pea’s beautiful green eyes and in a striking moment of clarity he realized that if this were the last day of his life, this would be the one thing he would regret; not taking enough time to look into these beautiful green eyes. All of the things that we think are important and need to be done really don’t amount to a hill of beans; it is the little things that we do for one another that matters most.
On the way home I passed a church that had a clever statement posted on their sign which read, “Spoil your spouse, not your children.” How many of us would have a better life by heeding that advice.
