The Bucket List
// June 21st, 2008 // No Comments » // Family
So, I just got done watching The Bucket List and I am writing this because no movie has ever touched me in a way this one just did. This is my way of trying to document this feeling. If only there was a way to take this feeling and keep it locked away for me bring back out once a day to remind me where my head should be. I really need that. So many things have come and gone in the nearly 30 years I have been on this earth and it is so easy to lose things in the blur. Lose sight of what really matters compated to what is occupying you time at the moment.
Please, God, allow me to be able to remember the way I am feeling at this very moment at least once every few days just so I don’t lose sight of what really means something to me. I don’t want this to be another thing that is lost in the everyday noise. Life is not perfect and that is what makes it great. If you are reading this and you have not seen the movie, please do. If you have seen this movie, you may or may not already know what I am talking. But that is not why I am writing this. I am writing this for myself and I hope that I will see it often and be able to close out all of my distractions that life presents and really focus on what is important to me. Which is, no doubt, my family.
Life is a struggle and times get rough. I have questioned my wife and I’s relationship in the past, but I always know after things calm down that I am with the right person. I could be a better father and husband, and I have told my wife and myself that I mean to be many times and I really truley mean it each and everytime. However, life always takes that feeling away from me and drowns it out so that I can not hear it anymore. I don’t want that to happen any more. I want to be able to hear it loud and clear every single moment from this one on.
