Yesterday, July 29, was my wife's birthday. "What do you want for your birthday?", I usually ask. I don't want to buy something Rosemary doesn't want. She wanted a DVD of Secretariat (a wonderful Disney film), cash and Kathryn Stockett's book, The Help.
She also wanted our only child, Timothy, to come home from Texas A&M University. I flew down to get Timothy, brought him home and we had a great family dinner, as we celebrated Rosemary's life. We were joined by my sister, nephew and a few good friends.
When all the dust and smoke of a busy life clears, we are left with the memories we create and the dinners we can't forget. I am trying to live much more slowly these days, so as not to miss the high points. They are rarely experienced in the fast lane.
