My day began with a tragic reminder of how precious, yet fragile life is. And how quickly the world can change for a family. 

Take nothing for granted. 

Love your children.

Update:

I have received several notes from concerned readers and I want to clarify that no tragedy has befallen my family.

A neighbor called first thing this morning to tell me that something horrible had happened to a young man that was a friend and teammate to both of our sons. As a parent the mere thought of the pain this young man’s family is experiencing overwhelms me. 

If you are so inclined, please say a prayer for his family. And don’t forget to love yours.
