My Legacy
- Didn't give up through any kind of adversity.
- I was much more than someone who fought cancer.
- Fought for all that I believe in, including my life.
- I placed the love of my wife and children above all in my life.
- I am a man of Faith with a strong belief in God.
- I believe in courtesy and respect enough to expect it from myself.
- I believe in the Golden Rule.
- If you do good, surround yourself with good, good things will happen to you.
- I believe in hard work and perseverance.
- There is an acceptable solution to any problem. Sometimes you have to look hard and work hard to find it.
- I try to live life the right way. Even if I make wrong choices, they are without malice and with good intent.
- I am honest and dealt fairly with others.
- I trust people until they give me reason not to.
- I try to carry the load whenever I can, whether it is mine to carry or not.
- I always carry the loads that are mine to carry.
- I genuinely care about others and care about whether I can positively influence others.
- I am afraid of being forgotten, but more afraid that my memory will trap my family into not moving on and being happy. I would risk the former to have the latter.
- I was a good provider, not just of "things", but that my wife knew that I adore her and my children knew that no sacrifice is ever too great for their "true" happiness.
- I have a strong belief in a life after this one. If I pass on before them, I would hope that they stay true to our beliefs and what they have been taught so we can be together again someday.
- I trust my wife and children completely.
- I trust my wife. If I am not here, I know that her love for them is sufficient. I completely support any and all decisions that she would need to make for our kids. I have faith in her.
- I trust my children. I know their hearts and souls. If their hearts stay as pure as they are now, they will make good choices and they understand the love that I have for them, they will choose the right mate when it is time.
- I want our kids to see the love that their parents have for each other and will settle for nothing else when it it comes to choosing a spouse for themselves.
- I want my wife to know the pride that I have for her. The things that she has overcome do not mark her, they are mileposts of how far she has come. She accepts these trials without complaint and knows her strength.
- I am so proud of who my children are and it breaks my heart to think I may not see the rest of their journey, but I believe in them with all my heart and soul.
