What Will Your Life Stand For When It's Over?
Picture a father receiving a handmade card from his young son-a tiny handprint pressed onto paper with words that pierce the heart: "All those tiny handprints will surely fade away." This moment captures something we all feel but rarely confront: time is slipping through our fingers, and the question isn't whether we'll leave this world, but whether we'll leave it better than we found it. The real tragedy isn't death itself-it's reaching the end and realizing we never truly lived. We spent our days reacting rather than creating, consuming rather than contributing, existing rather than mattering. On Father's Day, that handmade card carries a message every parent feels but rarely confronts: children grow impossibly quickly. It's easy to promise more time "when things slow down at work" or "next year." But if you don't act on life, life acts on you. Weeks slip into months, months into years, and suddenly that small child is an adult with their own family, and those tiny handprints have indeed faded away. The greatest gift for your children isn't money or opportunities-it's your presence, your time, your attention.
