Naked Man Moleskin

  • Do we really take the time & cherish the everyday moments we get to spend with our M’s (most important person). For many of us that is our wives the women we honor & celebrate their bravery & courage today during our workout.  Recnetly my M had her annual mammogram & got the dreaded call from the doctor that “we saw something abnormal & would like you to come back next week for a 2nd scan”.  As you can imagine my wife was devasted & on pins & needles for the entire week.  I could not help thinking “what if”, how do I manage the kids on my own, how do I support her but also be dying inside.  Thank goodness the scans were clear but there are 310K women that will not be that lucky this year & another 43k men that will lose their wives & have to figure out how they will live without there wife & potential manage a family on their own.  My challenge to you men is take the time with your M or any special women in your life & don’t take the moments for granted.  Also, use this as a calling to live 3rd.  F3 is involved with a local organization called pink heels, Just ask Hanger about the stories he has heard that have touched his life.  Maybe this is one your callings to live 3rd & get involved.  AYE!
