As a kid, I was very lucky to have both parents, all 4 grandparents, which all were absolute hero's to me. I'm here and typing this out because of them. Some kids had comic book heros and heros on TV, I had my Pop and Grandpa. Very, very lucky. They're all gone now and boy do I miss them. Hope to be able to be a tiny fraction of what they were for my daughter. Family for me was everything. I find myself letting life happen and taking too long to call my mom and hang out with my uncles that I still have left. I hope to break that habit and try to hang out with them all I can. The hands on the clock have sped up for me in recent years, that's for sure. Love the ride to fish!!! Congrats on your brother moving close and getting a bike.
