Learning New Priorities

Before my parents became infirm, I watched sports avidly. I was a fan of football at all levels. I loved college basketball. Even though we never had cable at home, I could always find a friend with a big screen to invite me over to watch the big game. When those you love are sick, you suddenly could not care less about what used to matter to you. I know there is a new college football national championship playoff, but with Mom fighting to get well, I doubt I will watch a second of the title game. It is amazing how quickly priorities are reshuffled when we find out what really matters.
