I stood on the beach in the hot sun and just watched - I watched the tide roll in and then out again, I watched a sea gull chase a small sandpiper off the sand and into the air, I watched my son search for shells on the sandbar with my father. As I sat and took in my surroundings I thought to myself, "Remember. Remember this moment on the days when the rain won't stop, and I can feel the pressure rising in my skull." In that moment I made a place in my mind I can retreat to anytime I need to remember life is more than this. Life is about the best moments - the ones filled with family, and friends, the ones filled with simple but true happiness. Hopefully all the bad days filled with stress and pain can be washed away by the memories made in the sun and sand. I love those days in the sun with my son, father, uncle, and aunt. We spend all our time enjoying life and each other - it just doesn't get much better than that!
