As a father I dreamt of doing a lot of things with my kids. My daughter was the girly girl and really still is. Dustin, boy through and through. I planned on doing so many things with him from baseball to driving to teaching him how to treat a woman. These are things a Dad does.In his life though, we became best friends, pals and even partners in crime. He was my shadow (mother called him) my right hand man was my title for him. I remember the things we did do together and remember the excitement he showed while we were planning them. But that is it, that is all I have now is the memories. I can't take him for granted anymore. Not that I tried to but I took for granted we would always have tomorrow to do things. If you are reading this as a parent, take this advice don't take anything for granted, tomorrow may not be in your future. The present is just that...a gift. Use it to be with your kids. Doing extra jobs to get more money will not make you happier, it takes you away from the things that matter and that SHOULD be your family. When my time comes I don't think money will be on my mind. My kids and wife will be and I think of them each day now. Dustin lives in my heart now and comes to me in my dreams from time to time, I can't change anything that has happened and Believe me, I have tried to in prayer and even trying to figure out a way to build the time machine that is on Dustin's list for life. I don't know how to even start to design one. I love my son, daughter and wife. I miss my son, Dustin, a truly great kid. My right hand man, see ya' again someday pal.
