I understand that I haven't blogged in a while, and for anyone out there who reads my blog, my apologies. It just hasn't been a priority for me lately. But I'll try to be better at it.
Dad, we visited you today for Father's Day. We rubbed the lottery tickets for you. We won $7! Not bad. Since I knew you'd be upset if we left the winning tickets for you, we just left the "official... losers" for you. I remember a long time ago, you used to collect them and you had a stash of them in your night-table. That was a long time ago!!! I hope you're doing OK, Dad. I miss you.
This past Friday, Tim Russert of NBC News' Meet the Press suddenly died. He died of a heart attack. It turns out that Tim had heart problems similar to my Dad. Now I didn't know Tim at all. I didn't meet him when I worked at MSNBC. So maybe it's silly to feel bad that he died, and that the tributes on television this weekend did bring me to a few tears. But yet, I feel sad.
Events like that of Tim Russert do bring life into perspective. It reminds us of what is important.. family, friends, love, and G-D. Not working 20 hour days at work at a job that may or may not reward in ways that we deserve. The thing is, while we have the right perspective now, it fades, and we all go back into our old habits of worrying about the wrong things.
Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you.
