UnrealisticExpectations 3.0

I meant to write this a couple of days ago, because it’s really been on my mind a lot.

On Monday, Nicolle and Sydney went to the park. I went to the garage and did some miter cuts and some sanding and cutting and sanding and staining and staining again.

Nicolle took a lot of photos, and a couple of my favorites are here:

I consider myself one lucky shit to have such a beautiful thing in my life. I’m reminded just how little I care about things that I wanted all of 4 or so years ago and how much I care about big hugs, big kisses and big smiles. I love being able to do things for Sydney that lead to more of those things for me. Yeah, yeah. And Nicolle, too.

But the bigger picture here is that a bunch of people long before any of us were born risked or lost their lives to make sure that on a Monday when there’s no work for most of us… my kid can go play in a park, safely, without worry, and not even need to think about it.

But I think about it.

So should you.

Never forget.
