Luke has soccer this fall, and he practices down the lake. Every time I go I pass by your place.

Sometimes I think how it would have been great to be able to pop in to say hello on the way there or back, or invite you to a game. Then I feel guilty because I probably would never have invited you ... I always felt so awkward asking (or expecting) you to give up your time for a silly kids activity.

And then I just feel sad. I give anything to be able to have more time with you. Either now or in the past. How did I miss so many opportunities before, and how can it possibly be that I'm out of opportunities now? It just doesn't make sense.
