A quick post to Facebook this morning which I shared on Twitter as well:

Sitting her in the dark with my coffee reading a little news and Sam my eight year old climbs up in my lap and lays his head on my chest. I put my phone down and we sit there and chat for a minute.
Soon, he won’t do that anymore. He’ll be too big for that and we’ll cross that line between father and son and be two men who still have affection for each other but some things don’t happen after a certain age.
Life is weird. Life is quick. Age takes more than what you can do physically. It takes the heart out of ya.

I'm getting older, things like this are getting to me more and more. I'll be fifty this year. I want to always be there for my kids and I know that me being a mere mortal (it's true, no matter what you've heard) that I won't live forever.
I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
