Oh my goodness! This was a real shock at the end. I hadn't seen it coming. What a reflection on today's life.

Buying time
Thank you for posting this poignant story. It is similar in theme to the song," Cats in the cradle." Having recently lost my father, I am spending more time with my mother. Soon enough, I won't have that option, and would gladly pay for another hour.

Snow
I’ve actually seen a rendition of this in a TV commercial (a Christian TV ad). The little boy wanting to buy some of his Dad’s time…. Pretty sad but often true.

So heartwarming.. a child needs all our love and time that we can give them before they head out into the world.
