How will you be remembered?

Today marks a year since I lost my Dad. Actually, it was not a loss. He was always a gain; still remains so, and will continue to be forevermore. 

He was a man of few words who taught through action, not words. He was confident and strong yet humble and gentle. He never missed a moment to say a kind word; provide positive feedback or notice something good. 

He served one and all and found it a joy and a blessing to get the opportunity to contribute. He had very little need for recognition; fame or credit. For him, making a positive impact was the biggest reward. 

He was insightful and wise; an effective leader in the community; a family man, and a sound businessman. For my Dad, his greatest happiness came from making others happy! He was always a joy to be around. 

I miss you, Dad. Thank you for your love and inspiration! 

These are just some of my fondest memories of my father. Thus, I find myself asking: "What kind of memories will my children have of me?" 

How about you? What kind of memories will you leave for your loved ones?
