Got the opportunity to welcome two little guys into the world today...... a set of twin grandsons. My oldest son Allen and his new wife Jessie gave birth to these two this morning and I went up to visit with them this evening and of course get a few photos. I'm still fighting that growing old idea of grandpa so I advised it's still not official until these two can say it, not anybody else! Way I figure it I still have a couple more years before they can pronounce it properly so I'm still the eligible bachelor versus an old man so let me be. On the long drive to and from Columbus I had some time to think and of course sing (nobody was with me so don't worry) and was contemplating life. I found out today that a well respected ex coworker was diagnosed with terminal cancer and not expected to survive long. I aim to visit and hopefully learn that it's not as bad as I'd heard but I fear that will not be the case. Then I look at these two newborns, how one was a breach and could have went badly if not for the medical care and you start thinking how life can come and go in a heartbeat and how human it is to fight to live from birth until death. Reminded me of that Garth Brooks song The Dance, could have missed the pain but I would have missed the dance line. I hope I never fall back into the rut of letting life pass me by, wishing I had done something I could have done and didn't. I hope everyone finds their dream and lives it.
