To the ones that I love,

I can easily come up with excuses about how busy life has been and how little free time I have had, but nothing excuses me for losing sight of the most important things in my life; the ones that I love. You are the ones who have been there for me to make me laugh when I was sad, to lift me up when I fell down, and to stand by me when no one else would. To love me unconditionally and that is all one man can ever ask for.

Starting a family, managing a household, and dealing with tight work schedules are all part of everyone’s life. We stand on stage running from scene to scene trying not to forget our lines and making sure we hit our cues, but we often neglect the people backstage who support us. Behind the scenes, our loved ones have always made sure the play went on and all too often, they never see the applauds they so deserved.

I don’t know all the lessons my children will learn in life, but I hope the one lesson that they will keep close to their heart is that one should never take their loved ones for granted. Your loved ones will be the light that guides you through the darkest times and the blanket that keeps you warm through the coldest nights. Always appreciate the great gift that you have been given no matter what else happens around you because they will always be there for you.

On this Valentine’s Day,
A person who has lost track of his priorities
