I Remeber

Dad left way too soon — he was only 54 when he died of cancer, I was 22 — but the memory of him is still very much alive. That's a part of our legacy, I guess — what people remember of us. A good reminder to exercise empathy, and spread kindness and compassion every day, to nix judgement and hate. Irving Birdseye was particularly good at being a good man, and gave me a high bar to strive for. Thanks for the mentoring, Dad. I remember!
