We become absorbed in the building of our lives and forget that absences don’t occur with separation or death, it is a constant in our lives.  We create a budget for our finances but neglect to create one for our time.  The biggest and most rewarding investment we can make is in our own lives and that of our children. Time is fleeting, we will all be absent from the body sooner or later.  Being present for ourselves and our loved ones who love us back is all that matters.
