Not all my words, but words I have come to appreciate over the years: As my Dad approached the latter years of his life, he was heard to comment, " I've never been afraid to die, but nothing prepared me for old age. " My father-in-law, Daniel Albertson, once commented after attending a funeral, "I don't know why I went to his funeral. He won't be at mine." Seen on a bumper sticker: If a Train Station is where a train stops, what is a Work Station?
And, of course, if Pro and Con are opposites, then what is the opposite of Progress?
Sometimes the wisdom and logic of out kids will surprise us. They can very often be profound beyond their years. My son Ben, at about age 2, had dressed himself. He did well for a two-year-old, but his shoes were on the wrong feet. When I confronted him by telling him they were on the wrong feet, he contemplated this for a moment, and then said, "But Dad, they are the only feet I have!" |
