Special Moments

Do you ever realize that when you get invited to a wedding, a graduation, or a function is that you are sharing in a special moment? It may seem a drag to you but to your friends or family member it is important. It is more than a commitment. It is an opportunity for you. It is a milestone in their kids life.

My wife and I were lucky tonight. We got invited to a "draft" party. A friend of ours sons got a contract with the Seattle Seahawks. He didn't get drafted in the NFL draft but he got a contract within a couple of hours after the draft ended. He got a job in the NFL!

It was a special moment for our friend Carrie Griffin. Her son Sean is going to the NFL. He went to Novi Catholic Central. And we were invited to be with them when they celebrated. It didn't matter it was 9 o'clock on a Sunday night. It was a special time. A time I won't forget.

I've known Sean since he was a little kid. I can't be more proud of him. I'm glad they called to invite us tonight. I'm glad to share in his families special moment.

It's a great life and good things do happen. Enjoy your kids and all the special times that you are invited to. Life passes us by way too fast.
