Michael J. Fox - Better Husband and Father through Parkinsons

Share

For the past week or so, the internet seems to have been buzzing a bit about the Michael J. Fox interview on Letterman recently.  So what did he say that everyone is talking about?

"Parkinson's has made me a better person. A better husband, father and overall human being."

Parkinson's is a terrible disease (my Grandpa succumbed to it about 5 years ago) and I really admire him for everything he's doing to raise money and awareness.  I am also glad that he has become a better husband and father through the experience. However, if this teaches you anything, it should be this...

Don't wait for a debilitating disease or tragic life experience to become a better husband and father!!

I am sure there are some of you out there who have had an experience that has changed your life (e.g. a near-death experience or devastating diagnosis). This experience may have made a profound impact on who you are as a man, husband, and father.  For those who have been lucky enough not to have such an experience, be better now!
