Candid Conversation with Owen

Conversations with my son (typical questions I asked, and answers I get from Owen)

Dad: Do you love daddy?
Owen: Yes I do. Too much.

Dad: Who do you love more, mommy or daddy?
Owen: Mommy! (Even if I try to persuade him that he should love me more, mommy is always # 1 !)

Dad: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Owen: A Knight...a Good Knight. But sometimes I am a bad knight. ( this is when he gets in trouble)

Dad: Do you want to go to work with daddy today?
Owen: No. I need to keep mommy safe from the moo-moos. (monsters)

Dad: Did you have a goodnight sleep?
Owen: I had a good dream. I dreamt about Jesus.

Dad: What did Jesus say?
Owen: He said thank you for praying.

Dad: How will you feel if daddy goes away for a long time?
Owen: I will be sad. I will look for you all over the place forever.

Dad: What's your favorite toy?
Owen: My swords.

Dad: Why do you like your swords?
Owen: They make me happy.

Dad: What's your favorite part of the day?
Owen: When you sword fight with me. It's fun!

Slow down! Icy Road Conditions!

The picture above shows what happened to the car after I got into car crash on my way to work. I left at 6 a.m. hoping to beat rush hour traffic not thinking about the bad road conditions. I haven't gone to work for a couple of days and I know I needed to get back in the office. it was about 3 miles from my house where I was driving over an icy bridge and I lost control of the car. I don't remember much from what happened other than the fact that I tried to gain control of the car as I was swerving left and right and I missed one car, but another car headed towards me from the opposite direction hit me right on and I spun around. It all happened really fast! I remember checking to make sure I could feel my feet. And then I called 911. A police officer was there within minutes. The trip to the hospital was unbearable even though they hit me with morphine! I laid on that stretcher in the emergency room for hours because they wouldn't move me until all the x rays and scans were completed and evaluated. It was a pretty uncomfortable 5 hours! But I got out of it okay without any major injuries - just a few bruises here and there. I was glad! I am grateful that my life did not end then! I had a few thoughts go through my head as I hit that truck. One thing was: "Did I buy enough life insurance to sustain my family? and "Am I ready to go?" Sadly, the answer to both questions were no. And it makes me realize how short and unpredictable this life is. I really want to be a better person, to really cherish every single minute I have with my family. I love my wife and my son, and the rest of my family, but to go through an experience when it seemed like everything was to be stripped of you, it really opens your eyes to a better perspective of what is truly important in life.
