It is not what I am, it is what I'm striving to be.

As I look at the life behind me it is easy to shudder with disappointment and to cower away and to fear the future. But that is where I am. I must look back just quick enough to learn the lessons of the past and then to set my sights on who I am now and whom I want to be in the future. If circumstances permit, I want to be a very good grandfather.
