The picture below brings back a lot of memories and makes me want to make a few comments about my life.....The picture on the sled is when we lived on Mountain Rd in Asheboro. This would be circa 1973. That is my Dads 1970 Chevy pick up truck in the background. I actually fell out of that truck leaving our house on Bunting rd when I was 4 years old. My head hit the pavement when the door flew open I was a goner until my dad reached out and caught me by my ankle and pulled me back in with only a knot and a big strawberry on my forhead. It is amazing how strong memories like those are when you come so close to major injury or death. I have a few memories like that. Most of them due to my own daredevil stunts. I know I have 9 lives and just hope I have several more left but if I left this earth today I would want everyone to celebrate what was a great life with no real regrets. Only regrets would be what I would be missing not what I have already lived. I have loved and felt loved. I have hated and more importantly learned that hating was a waist of energy so I learned to forgive . I have given to needy and found that giving is so much better than receiving .I have experienced so many fantastic things. I realized that love is not love until it is given away. I have enjoyed life to the fullest most of the time. I have learned to appreciate the bad times since without the bad times we wouldnt appreciate the good ones nearly as much. I have married and grew apart from one wife and then grew close again raising our wonderful creation together. I have married again and found that you can be best friends with your wife and that love can continue to grow for that special woman. I have been blessed so much to have met and married the woman who is as close to a saint as anyone I have ever met or will ever meet. I have seen my Son born and realized in that moment just how much love you can possibly have for something. I have seen my Son grow into an absolute wonder that defies all the expectations that I had. He is so smart and so loving. At this point in my life I feel like I am the best person I have ever been and I appreciate all the things that made me who I am. I hope I live a long life but if I die at the end of this sentence please celebrate my life and remember the good times I had and dont cry . Have a party and celebrate what was as close to perfect of a life as I think anyone would be fortunate to have. Thank you for reading this and thank you for being a part of my life.
