History repeats itself, are you ready?
Some say that history repeats itself, kind of like weather cycles through time periods and therefore somewhat predictable, not.
If history repeats itself are you ready? Do you know what to do to prepare for upcoming probable events? Would you take the time to prepare or just let it happen and hope to be prepared for the event, whatever it may be?
What do you do? Who can you trust? Where do you turn? How will you survive? When will the event happen?
I put my faith in God. Like the strike on the coins, "In God We Trust". This is where my fate lies. If it is meant to be it will be, no matter what it is. I know that God will make a path for me regardless of what lies before me, and that he will take care of me. Just read Psalm 23 for proof.

To my son Will
A chip off the old block. The apple did not fall far from the tree. If I were to assess you, that is what I would come up with. Maybe I am bragging too much, but you are so much like me it is hard to believe. If I ever wanted to confirm what I was thinking, all I would have to do is talk to you and I would have a reflection of my own thoughts.
There is a lot left in life for you to experience and I am sure you will. Where there is a "Will", there is a way.
I think you have found what life means to you and that you are complacent in how you wish to live your life.
I know there is someone out there that will eventually rock your world and sweep you off your feet. You just have not met that person yet, but you will.
I know that life feels like a bowl of lemons sometimes but you know how to add sugar and make the lemons taste better.
You will always make the best of things no matter how bad they seem.
I am proud of you and wish you the very best.

To my son Charles
My first born. I remember passing out cigars, taking you back to the hospital when you were only ten days old, the IV needle in your little head, cleaning the incision in your little side from the surgery you had when you were so little.
I remember the mess you made eating your birthday cake in your high chair and the plastic we laid down to capture the food you threw when you ate.
I remember the golden blonde hair and your smile so big.
I remember when you asked me if we could fly after watching the movie Superman.
I never will forget all the shots you got in your arm when you were tested for allergies, thinking how I had never been exposed to so many shots myself.
I remember the pain we sufferred when you were hospitalized and the agony we went through afterwards trying to help you.
I am proud of the individual you have turned out to be and I hope you pass on the same quality of life to those who you come in contact with. You are always passionate, caring, and loving to all mankind.
As any parent, I wish you the best and hope you make the best of your life.

To My Wife
I will always love you. My love will never falter. You are the one who made me whole. You are the one who shared my life, in the good times as well as the bad times. We shared the glory of the good times and helped each other through the bad times. You gave me hope when there was no hope. You helped me to smile, laugh, and play even when all I saw was doom and gloom.
I thank God for bringing you into my life and making me whole. You made my life complete. My only hope is that I did the same for you.
God bless you. I love you and always will.

What would I say?
If I wanted to tell my family how I felt about them, what would I say?
I would tell all of them that I love them very much and that each and every one of them is an individual with purpose and unique ideas. Everyone marches to a beat of their own drum so there is nothing wrong with feeling like you are different. When it all comes down to it, we are all the same, even though we tend to go our own way.
What ever you decide to do in life is your very own choice, nobody should tell you what to do nor how to live your life. It is a God given right to live the way that you choose and those who love you, if they love you, will support you, no matter how you choose to live.
