While at the park one day,
a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground.

"That's my son over there."
she said, pointing to a little boy in a red shirt.
"He's a fine looking boy," the man said
"that's my son on the swing in the blue sweater."
He looked at his watch and called over his son.
"What do you say we go, Todd?"
Todd pleaded, "Five more minutes please!"
The man nodded and Todd continued to swing.
Five minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son.
"Time to go now."
Again, Todd pleaded, "Five more minutes,dad."
The man smiled and said OK.
"My, you certainly are a patient father," the woman responded.
The man smiled and then said,
"My older son Tommy was killed by a drunk driver
last year while he was riding his bike near here.
I never spent much time with Tommy
and now I'd give anything for just five more minutes with him.
I've vowed not to make the same mistake with Todd.
He thinks he has five more minutes to swing.
The truth is, I get five more minutes to watch him play."
