It's been a while....
I write because I want to be remembered. Not just as a son, a father and a friend. I want to be remembered as that guy who really knew what he was talking about when he wrote...
You don't even have to remember my name, just what I've written.
"It's the simple things that matter. Not the cars, the jobs, the money and the clothes.
What matters is sitting on the deck counting the stars with your kids.
What matters is trying to figure out whether or not a particular cloud looks like a Volkswagon Beetle or a vagina.
What matters is not BEING loved but being ABLE to love.
It's not important that we're all HUMAN BEINGS. It's important that we remember how to BE HUMAN."
And so I write. For me. For those who may be genuinly interested in knowing me. And I write for my Children and my Grandchildren. So they can learn more about me after I'm gone. Meet the man they knew but didn't know EVERYTHING about.
I can't talk at times, so I write. Maybe someday, my kids friends and loved ones will read what I've written so they do not forget the thoughts of the man who wrote them.
My legacy is my words.

I agree 100%, really. What counts is who we are, not what we have. I've been misjudged for thinking this way many times in my life. I'm glad there are souls out there who share my views.
There is a saying that I once read in French, it would translate like this: "I wouldn't like to die without knowing why have I lived".
I am sure you will be remembered by your kids and many more...
