Enjoy life and your family

Life.....Family.....Love....

These three words mean more to me after the past week that ever before. I along with many others lost a dear friend when Kris Kingsted passed away. She was always smiling and a constant reminder of how FUN the theatre could be. Her passing really made me sit down and think of how precious life is and how it can be taken from us. I sat down and took a hard look at myself, my own medical problems, and how fragile my health really is.

When I heard Brian had lost his wife, who is my wife's age, to Cancer I was floored.... So young, so full of life...I had to ask...WHY!!!!! This beautiful young woman was taken way too soon...It made me think, how many times i go without telling my wife that i love her...that i adore her....that the arguments we have is so trivial and why we have them.

I decided that life is too precious....I decided to live everyday to the fullest....I decided to love each moment as our last....Because you never know when you will be called home and when you have served your purpose on this planet....

So....Hug your children....tell your spouse you love them.... smell the roses.....and most of all.....HAVE FUN!!!!!!

Good Bye to my Parents

Well the day has come for my parents to leave....NOOO they haven't died...They are moving back to the grand old country....THE SOUTH!!!! Where Sweet Tea flows and winterizing your vehicle is figuring out whether to put the top on the convertable or not. I will miss my parents....cause well we Yoshino men have a hard time letting go of their mothers....But my lovely wife reminded me that they are only a flight away and I now have a place to stay if I want to get out of the Wisconsin Winters..... Here's to Sweet Tea and beaches and fishing in the ocean...... I can't wait to go visit......
