As we spend time on the road to visit our families, I began to ponder over how important our realtionships with family are why they are the first relationships we neglect. As our busy lives take more and more of our time, we forget to send cards, make the ocassional "just thinking of you" call, or even better, we fail to make the needed time to visit. Ian, Emma, and I will be a part of the Coast Guard and their plans for our lives for at a minimum of 9 1/2 more years, but we have the ability to make the choice to not that as an excuse. In an honest effort to "make time" for my family, I encourage you to do the same. and ps...your friendships should be nutured just the same.
Love to you all.
