I have been thinking a lot today about the circle of life and how precious life is. Most of us have seen the Lion King and the circle of life song comes to mind but I got notified today of a friend who lost his long battle with brain cancer. It was very sad. He was younger than I was. Known him for over 20 years. Heard of another guy that a few years ago he seemed larger than life to me and he is now dying of cancer. I also got a call today that my nephew and his beautiful wife just gave birth to their first child, Liam. How ironic that in one day the circle of life was completed. It just hit me today but it happens every day. People die, and people are born. Same thing goes on in our day to day lives. People come and people go. Relationships end, relationships begin. People pop up after many years only to resurface and enter your live again. If you think about the seasons, that is like a circle of life. Winter hits and every seems dead, it is cold and hardly any movement outside; you work on winter projects and basically hibernate. By the time summer gets here you are active, swimming, actively enjoying the warmth and the outdoors. Spring you notice everything seems in bloom and you plan for the upcoming months. Fall you notice the leaves falling and if your smart getting ready for winter to set in. I Know that is not the order they go in but what the hell, you get my point. I heard a comment today about how we become our parents it made me laugh but it is so true. I guess that is the circle of life in itself. Kelly I never thought your dad was so cool but if you are him, he is one hell of a guy! Until Next time.
