THE NEGATIVE REACTION

LONG DAYS, DARK NIGHTS

What a strange few days it has been. My gif and I had a row about having children and getting married. I came home last night after work and basically stayed downstairs working on my toasted computer and watching tv until she went to bed.

While I was switching channels, I came across the VH1 "Driven" show. It was featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his rise through the Busch and Winston ranks. One of the most emotional things was when he father passed while they were both racing in Daytona. It really hit me pretty hard. I could tell the guy had a very special realtionship with his father, and he was crushed when he was taken from him in a flash. It really made me think about how special I am to have the father I do. it made me think of all the great times we had while I was going up and the things that he instilled in me to carry on for the rest of my life. I prayed last night, for the first time in a long time. Some times we just don't see what we have and we don't realize how soon all of it can be taken away.

I surely am lucky.
