With every wish that he has made possible—and there have been more than 2,200 of them—Bob Haverstick has Submitted photo experienced the magical joy that comes from helping someone live a dream. He knew that feeling when he fulfilled the unusual wish that an 88-year-old husband and his 81-year-old wife had to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary—by jumping out of an airplane and skydiving from 12,500 feet. “I said, ‘You’re crazy,’ and she said, ‘My son said that, too,’ ” says Haverstick, a winner of a 2002 Spirit of Service Award from Catholic Charities Indianapolis. “But we made it happen for them. I just loved that wish.” Joy also fills Haverstick when he recalls the 2005 wish of Bobby Shults, a World War II veteran who wanted to sail again on a Navy vessel. The challenge was that Shults had Alzheimer’s disease, and he was in a nursing home. So his son, Jon, escorted him onto the ship in Norfolk, Va. “As Bobby came aboard, Jon is holding onto his dad, ” Haverstick says. “When he’s walking up the gangplank, For the past 11½ years, Bob Haverstick, left, has used his non-profit organization, everyone salutes him.

Children orient us toward the future. How many parents, gazing at their newborn, see images of caps and gowns, wedding finery, even grandkids? Shemitz CNS photo/Gregory A. Children embody our fondest dreams and deepest fears. They can make it difficult to live in the present moment. How, then, do we as parents follow Jesus’ admonition not to worry about tomorrow? Living in the present moment means to be open to the opportunities that God, who lives in the eternal now, gives us each day to grow in holiness. If we are distracted by worries about the future, or regrets about the past, we may miss what God is saying to us right no w. Busyness, or multitasking, presents a major obstacle to living in the present moment. Technology makes it easier, or at least more tempting, to do several things at once, and busy parents always try to maximize their time. For example, we drive our children to school, listening to their class presentations with one ear while keeping the other on the traffic report on the radio. Multitasking has its place, but it can prevent us from seeing the needs of others. We become used to juggling tasks, and we fail to notice that someone is asking us for advice, empathy or simply a listening ear.
