I met Rick Santorum a year ago when he was considering a run for the Presidency. We were both waiting on a meeting in DC. After my introduction, he took a phone call for a radio interview. I listened and was impressed by how family-oriented the man seemed to be. This weekend, my admiration for his family values increased. I’m not endorsing or making political commentary here. Just observing a man who seems to understand the importance of family.<\/p>\n
Most of you saw or read the news. Santorum left the campaign trail this past weekend to join his ill 3-year-old daughter at the hospital. Young Bella has a genetic disorder making her susceptible to infection and was being treated for pneumonia at Children’s hospital in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
The simple point here is that this man made a decision to be with his daughter over politics. His example is a powerful reminder of what is important. If she had not pulled through, he would have regrets had he made a different decision.\u00a0 Whenever there is a serious family illness, choose to be there if you can. No one ever regrets being with a sick family member. People do regret not doing this. And when someone dies, that regret cannot be undone.<\/p>\n
So let’s use this example as a reminder of what is important. Family comes first, especially in matter of sickness. No job is too important to ignore the people you love when they need you.<\/p>\n
Is there someone you need to see?<\/p>\n
Someone you need to resolve issues with in your family. Don’t wait. Do it now.<\/p>\n
Thanks Rick for the reminder. Prayers for that cutie pie!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
