Sometimes I wish I could slow down time and just take in a moment. I had one of those moments today as I walked out of the Magic Kingdom today with Diego passed out on my shoulder while I held Dad's hand with my free arm. If there is such a thing as a perfect moment, that was it.
I know I will hold onto this memory for the rest of my life. I hope this memory will stick with Diego as much as it does with me. I want to be able to talk about that time we went to Disney World years from now when I come from Europa before we send Diego off to college.
Deep down I wonder how many of these perfect moments I am trading to explore Europa. I know right now this is something I need to do, but I wonder how I feel about this decision I'm making. Will I regret not spending this time with my son, or will I be glad that I chose to go on a mission that was once in a lifetime.
Like with the question Commander Hunt asked me, there is only one way to find out.
