I was a very little kid I was with my Dad holding his hand when I saw the Ocean for the first time. I remember my Dad was walking across a highway toward sand on the other side. I remember it\u00a0was in the morning and my Dad’s hand felt soft in my hand. I felt perfectly safe and protected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

We crossed the street and we started stepping through the very fine grains of and. You know the kind. As we kept moving foward over the and, I saw small plants growing out of the dunes. The last dune we crested, I saw this beautiful deep blue body of endless water from as far as I could see in front of me and as wide as I could see from side to side.<\/p>\n

I remember looking up to my dad with my heart fluttering and saying “Dad, It’s Beautiful”.<\/p>\n

As I said I just got off the phone with Dad and it was an amazing call that I had the lucky privilege to share that with Dad and tell him how much I love him.<\/p>\n

I know that many of us don’t have that blessing to say “I love you” or express to a parent how much they mean to us because its too late.<\/p>\n

I’m aware of that possibility so that is why I don’t waste a day and tell my Dad how much he means to am blessed to have the ability to have just hung up the phone after having a very warm call to my 89-year-old Father. I decided to all my Dad and tell him I love him and to make sure he knew my most memorable reflection I have had in my life was with him.<\/p>\n

Peace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
