Have lunch with your kids!

By

     Even if you’re not a fan of the NFL, the story of what happened to the family of Matt Bryant of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just breaks your heart. One morning he was getting his kids ready for school and he was about to leave to go to practice. When he went in to wake up his three month old son Matthew Tryson Bryant, he discovered he had died in his sleep.

     Life is so precious and can be so tragic. You never know what can happen or when. I’m sure nobody expects such a thing to happen in the safety of their home.

     After reading about this, of course as I’m sure you are now, I thought about my kids. It was still early morning so I got up and did something about it. I went to my youngest daughters school (the one that still lets me hug her in public) and had lunch with her. She was very surprised and we had a great time. Of course, before I left I gave her a hug and a kiss, a little bigger than usual. I still have my wonders with me and I wanted to make sure they know just how much I love them.

     When was the last time you had lunch with your kids at school? Surprise them and give them that extra special hug.

Amen!  Children love the one-on-one time with a parent!  Mine ask for a "date" with me and argue who's turn is next!  LOVE IT!!!

I don't have kids but I have family and my fiance and his family. I too know the importance of the precious time we have with our loved ones. What a sad story but a good reminder to tell the people we love, that we love them!

Thanks for sharing, Nicole Weidauer
