A tribute to parents

Postby Jared » Thu May 17, 2012 9:45 pm

With mothers day just past and fathers day coming up soon I wanted to take a moment and reflect on life.

They told me to pay attention in school, get good grades they said, go to college they said, get good grades there they said.

Growing up I didn't like those words. I was a kid, I wanted to have FUN! Why study when there's this nifty computer game called flight simulator?

A many blessings to you and your new bride and home. My wife and I have been in our home almost 7 years now. I bought the house I grew up in since 13 from my father. Oh the memories here as a kid and now the master bedroom of my parents is now mine......damn odd ;D. My old bedroom is now my office...again,who knew. Beautiful layout you have by the way. I would love to see some interior shots.

I've been to war,been all over the world, have the best wife in all the land (we all say it)....She is my Queen...

Cherish it man..cherish it. New home..old home...this stuff doesn't come easy but man what a ride! A day isn't wasted if a memory is made! Look,Listen,Feel...Adapt,overcome,embrace as a unit..Humor is key! Whilst this may be a bit of a rambling others may agree. Your in for a ride! Embrace it together and oh the stories you get later!

Caught me in one of my moments with this topic :D

In short. A blessing on your new home,new wife,New life. There is no I in team

The world needs a lot more Jareds.......and a lot more Mikes too.  Y'all have your heads in the right perspectives.

But then.....

If there was too many Mikes and Jareds I'd be out of a job! :D

Thanx for posting that Jared.  Your wife is a fortunate lady it seems.

Yours too Mike.

God Bless and God Speed gentlemen!
I love the smell of radials in the morning!

Dont forget the past, take it into your life and live with it.
Your parents gave you so much, then make sure you give something again to yours!
Hope you understand.
