Do you ever realize that when you get invited to a wedding, a graduation, or a function is that you are sharing in a special moment? It may seem a drag to you but to your friends or family member it is important. It is more than a commitment. It is an opportunity for you. It is a milestone in their kids life.
My wife and I were lucky tonight. We got invited to a "draft" party. A friend of ours sons got a contract with the Seattle Seahawks. He didn't get drafted in the NFL draft but he got a contract within a couple of hours after the draft ended. He got a job in the NFL!
It was a special moment for our friend Carrie Griffin. Her son Sean is going to the NFL. He went to Novi Catholic Central. And we were invited to be with them when they celebrated. It didn't matter it was 9 o'clock on a Sunday night. It was a special time. A time I won't forget.
I've known Sean since he was a little kid. I can't be more proud of him. I'm glad they called to invite us tonight. I'm glad to share in his families special moment.
It's a great life and good things do happen. Enjoy your kids and all the special times that you are invited to. Life passes us by way too fast.

Congratulations Sean! It's fantastic he's done so well, but you are a wonderful person for recognizing and appreciating the joy in others' lives. Keep up the selfless outlook :)
Congrats to Sean and his family, Russ. How nice that they invited you to share in the celebration of this exciting time in their lives. I have family in Seattle. I'll have to keep an eye out for Sean Griffin.
My 5 year old finds it amusing that I always want to participate in all the small and big milestones. I hope he appreciates it when he's older.
There are many special times, and we need to take the time to enjoy them no matter how busy we may be.
Nice post - It is all about sharing in the joy. It had to be exciting - especially when the contract was in.
Hi Russ, Thanks for sharing.
Best - Sash
