A year ago I was sitting on our couch in the early morning with my healthy and happy one year old son Jack sitting to my left. And my blackberry to my right. We were just relaxing. No TV. No noise. Just us. What a lovely moment.
Then I realized something. I had forgotten to send what I thought was an important email to a client. So I discreetly picked up my blackberry in my right hand and kept it hidden from my son and proceeded to type an email one finger and one letter at a time.
I was not even 9 letters into the email when I heard my son jack say clearly and loudly “No Daddy No. No. No blackberry”.
And he was right. My one year old son was giving me a life lesson reminder.
The lesson was simple. Pay attention to my son. And make him the priority when we are together. Treasure every moment. For the moments are precious and few and they speed by while we wander through life.
Pay attention to our loved ones. For they will always be there for us. And work can sometimes and often just simply wait.
