I was watching the last episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as he passes the hosting duty to Conan O’ Brien. After 17 years of doing The Tonight Show, Jay Leno will leave at the top of his game, as his show still enjoys top ratings.
Life is a lot like The Tonight Show. There are hits and misses. There are jokes that are funny and jokes that just make fun of you. There are people you like to work with and people you can’t stand but have to talk to. You get a round of applause for things that you do or you get a ribbing for being lousy.
Life is also full of beginnings and endings. As I watch Jay Leno’s last episode, I think about Enzo, peacefully sleeping in his crib. He’s my little boy right now but in 17 years, who knows what will become of him? Will he still be the same good boy that I’ve fallen in love the moment I saw him? Or he’ll be just like any teenage kid, who wants to strike on his own and live his own life? Will Phil and I decide to have another child, a new Conan O’ Brien in our life?
