What is the legacy you want to leave behind? An interesting question I haven’t asked myself yet comes from the daily writing prompt.

I guess I should have thought about this question a long time ago, but I guess I’ve been busy building whatever will be perceived of my time here and who you ask.

I’d like to be remembered as a good son, husband and father. Far from perfect but I gave it my best.

I’d hope that many would consider me a good friend. One that added some joy and laughter to their lives

If people believed I was thoughtful and compassionate, that would make me happy.

That I worked very hard to provide a better life for the family. That some might have enjoyed the photos, writing or art I produced.

That I loved, sacrificed, cared, and shared.

That I was a good teammate in life, work and sports.

I was proud to have worked in the Newspaper industry on by the local and daily levels when truth and facts mattered.

That I was lucky. A 2x cancer survivor.

That I loved driving cars and motorcycles.

Other wild stories from the late 60s, the 70s and early 80s I can neither confirm or deny. Luckily there is no videotape. Remember details from old friends may be highly embellished and hard to believe. Keep in mind that they are old and their memories may be suspect. They grew up at the same time and did many of the things I may or may not have done. So again, stories of escapades of my youth might be greatly exaggerated.
