Today something simple but amazing happened. My Mum messeged me on IM and during our conversation mentioned that Grandad had just come online as well and proceeded to invite him into the conversation.

It was one of those moments where you stop and think about how amazing the technology we have is. And it got me thinking that it’s pretty cool that they have the energy and have taken the time to learn how to fumble their way around on a computer.

And then the epiphany came – it’s will be post-children before I’ll have the opportunity to take on a large personal challenge like they did. My days are consumed with making money and my evenings with grooming my children for life in the big wide world.
