In Season Financial Group

Have I mentioned I love being a girldad? Had a fun weekend taking my oldest to get her birthday gift....we added to her snake collection! Finished off the day with a daddy/daughter dance at her school. The last time we had the dance it was about 3 weeks before the world shut down for Covid, so this was great to get going again...even if dancing with dad is "cringy" LOL!

Happy Valentines Day! If we as a world have learned anything over the last 2+ years, life is precious and as much as we feel like we are in control, we really are not. When it is time to leave it is time to leave. Sadly, this time next year almost every one of us will have at least one less person in our lives that we wish we could say something to but can't. Let today, Valentine's day, be the day to remember to tell those you love that you actually LOVE them while you CAN!
