For me, it is the magic moments that happen unexpectedly that I cherish most. Yes, of course I appreciate the pleasures of financial rewards. I enjoy the finer things as much as anyone. However, nothing compares to a little magic moment.
This afternoon I was in my office when my oldest son Chase comes into the room from his nap. His brother was still sleeping and the house was quiet. We sat down on the floor and he started spelling words in a handheld label machine. "CAT" ... "DOG" ... "PIG" ... he typed in. Then, he said, "Let me type our names." He first typed his name, "Chase." Next, he typed his brother’s name, "Casey." Then, he said, "Let me type your name." With that he typed, "DADDY." He looked up at me with his big green eyes, a big smile came over his face and he said, "Daddy!" Instantly, I felt so much love. It was hard to explain and maybe it doesn't mean anything to anybody...but, to me, it was one of those so very precious magic moments.
