That's really sad.... 779808[/snapback] Just a bunch of kids taking break from COOP work and decided to do a pick-up game in the back field. His head/shoulder hit the other guy in the chest as they collided trying to catch a deep pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hug and kiss your loved ones today! 779759[/snapback] Every time I see my wife. A year ago, an acquaintance of mine was killed on the Beltway here. Minding his own business, driving, car got crushed by an out-of-control semi. Left behind a wife of six months who was a month pregnant. Wife gets a kiss every morning before we go to work, and every night before we go to bed, because you never know which one will be the last one...

You just never know. That's also why I don't like leaving angry. I wouldn't want to remember our last moments together in an argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin in Va Beach Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That's good advice. We start and end the day with a 'family hug'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That's good advice. We start and end the day with a 'family hug'. 780449[/snapback] It's corny, but every morning before the wife and I got to work and my little girl go to school, we do a group hug and kiss out by the cars. My little girl loves it, giggles and smiles. It's a great way to start a day, and after reading this, makes it all the more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugs and kisses from my little girl are priceless. The day's going to come when she's a teenager, and will be afraid to show affection to her old man. That will be the saddest day of my life.

My wife and her mom were constantly at each other from early teens to early twenties. Of course, now they're best friends again and call each other nearly everyday...
