Mr Grayblade:
I always thought I had the answer to this one and boy was I wrong. I have recently discovered that the true meaning of life is best found when looking into the smiling face of one's child. No matter how bad things go in a day, when I get home and I hear my 2 1/2 year old running with a big smile on her face yelling Daddys Home it just makes everything worth it. I'm sure as people grow the meaning changes but right now it is the best anwser I've got.

SD,
I just read your post and the amazing thing is that while driving back to the hotel a few minutes ago I was thinking about the time my daughter was just a bit older than yours is now. I was leaving for a week long business trip and she was in the driveway waving good-by. When I got to the end of the driveway she burst into tears.
Regarding 13-15 years from now (or perhaps more correctly, when she is 13-15), my recommendation is to understand that it is a phase. My daughter went through a very belligerent phase during those years, but now at nearly 18 she has matured a bit and is no longer the nasty person she was a few years ago. It is hard to fault her when I consider what I was like as a teen.

But did you tell him the Burn was YOURS, not his?abe suarez wrote:The meaning of life for me is my son returned home on my birthday
P.S., when he asked about his car, I showed him the "Burn"
Which in itself is an other meaning of life.
Meaning of life to me-
Do more good than harm.
Do something, your not here for long.
Friends and Family can make it all worth the pain and anguish (tho they are usually part of the pain and anguish too )
Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.
