Goodnight Grandpa...

Everyone dies, it isn't a matter of when, it's a matter of how. Whether you lived your life to it's fullest without regret or if you bowed in the face of your own existence arrogantly thinking it would be forever. Well, it is forever.

We never know when our time will come but it's the life lived that gets counted. It is judged by the good you have left behind. Your legacy. What will you leave? In whose mind will you pass on memories of a life with stories that will continue to be told? What good will come from you walking this earth among the rest of us? What lessons have you left us with? On whose heart will you leave your footprint? Who will remember you...

While we can only be who we are and give what we can at the time, we can always manage to leave this life with a smile... maybe even a tiny grin.
