I would like to share a story.
This story is totally fictional.
I am putting this story in my book that I am writing.
Tell you a thought I had when I wrote it-I thought it would be a great coca cola commercial;-)
Anyway here it is.

I am most proud of Tommy. He is 12 years old and everything and more that I ever wanted out of a child. Every single interest that I have had, he has. There was a brief time in my life when I was impatient with him because he wouldn’t let me do anything without him tagging along with me. All I would have to do is look down at that smile of his, and I knew I was the luckiest man alive. No man that has ever lived or ever will live could have it better than I. Once I wanted to go see the Braves play with Jimmy. It was a combination of a business trip and pleasure trip. I tried to keep it from Tommy but somehow he found out. I walked out the door with Jimmy and got into the car. As we backed out of the driveway I saw my precious child in the window with his ball hat and glove crying like he had lost his best friend. I think to this day it is the worst feeling I have ever had. I felt as if someone tore my heart out. I yelled at Jimmy to stop the car and ran inside. “Tommy,” I yelled to him… how come you aren’t in the car? I’m not waiting on you all day boy. Lets get moving.” Wiping the tears from his eyes he jumped into my arms ball glove and all, and I had the precious hug that only a father can feel. That was the most precious moment of my life.
