Sometimes we take for granted the easy times and the folks we think will be around forever.
Yes, we do. I ordered a fairly expensive gun for my dad today, a limited edition piece that he told me he liked. With a mortgage to pay and an uncertain job future in my field, I had been hesitant to make such an expenditure, but then I realized that the man isn't going to be around forever and then I'd always regret putting money ahead of bringing him some happiness. Your advice is well taken.
