A Promise Made and Kept

I was reflecting over my life and the things that have shaped me into who I am. The interesting thing was that the things I remembered with passion, were the times I was disapointed by a promise made and then broken. The things that have brought me great joy, have been promises kept.

I remember the great joy I felt when my folks promised me a first bike and then delivered on that promise. I remember the pain of a promised trip with my Dad that never happened. And most of all, the enduring joy I feel with my wife and the promises we both made and kept.
