Episode 406 - These Are the Days They’ll Remember

the kind of the premise of why I was thinking about this was because, uh, at Sunday this week, uh, they did, you know, kinda like graduation, you know, recognize our seniors.

Um, and you know, it's always fun to see the...

You know, I don't really know them 'cause I'm, you know, not in that age group, but they're, um, you know, you s- but the part that always strikes me as kind of a little bit sad is, like, you see their whole life go from basically an infant of one up till they're 18, and you just see it in, like, 30 seconds, you know, and you just see them, like, growing up.

And you know, it's always sentimental and all that kind of stuff.

And you know, Renley's now nine, so she's basically halfway there.

And I-You know, I, I just can picture her in that moment very easily [laughs] of like, yeah, that's gonna be so sad.

[laughs] But, and, uh, you know, and also happy-

Mm

...

in a, in a good way.

So but then I was thinking that, you know, I only get one chance to live each of these days, you know.

I mean, we, we, all of us do.

We only get one shot at it.

And I said I wouldn't, I, I personally don't, would never get a tattoo, but if I had to, you know, I said I would get one on my wrist that just said, "Don't waste it," 'cause I only get, you know, one time to do that day.

So, um, I've just been really thinking about it a lot this last, like, handful of days of just I don't wanna waste it.

Now, that being said, when I'm there and my kid is really frustrating, I wanna do everything except be don't waste it.

I would like to waste it very much so.

[laughs]

Um, and that's the hard part.

But so it's making me think about that, and just, like, the actual memories that stick around with our kids.

Um, you know, 'cause you're always like, man, we gotta, we gotta do X big thing, or we, we don't wanna let this moment slip by.

But then it's just like, you know, there's a lot of life going on.

Um, you know, there's the busyness of everything.

So it's kinda like what, what's actually gonna leave an impact on my kids that they're gonna remember? Which obviously lots and lots of little things do.

But so that was kinda what I was thinking about of this topic and why I thought it would just be...
