Struggling Well With Life

I ran this past weekend with my Saturday running buddy of some 15 plus years. Saturday was a big day for the both of us. Brian was giving his daughter away in marriage, and I was about to witness my first daughter graduate from high school. Two old guys hobbling through a few miles on a hot humid day commenting on the obvious - how fast time passes. Our family has always been a half a step behind Brian’s, and it is both exciting and heart stopping to see what the future holds. It was a heavy, but good day. Brian waxed eloquently as he commented that “I was closing a chapter in my family history, he was closing a volume”. Later that day, I watched over the bride’s shoulder as her dad experienced that volume close.
