Not sure when your parents will give this to you, you may get it while you are young and may not fully understand these words, their meaning or why they are here. Or you may read this in your adult or latter life and use it as a reflection, not to reflect on the memories of your God parents, parents or friends, but at how you’ve survived life and become the man you are today.
Either way, whatever reason you decide, just know that each word, phrase, sentence and story were carefully chosen just for you. To show you the lifetime that I’ve led and share with you emotional and life lesson experiences that I’ve been through. I don’t expect you to model any of your behaviors after mine, in fact there’s a lot of behaviors that I wouldn’t have you rehash, but I would like you to know that life happens in moments. These moments never announce themselves, they never plan ahead and never have a right or wrong answer. But they are there to test you, to see how you fight through, to see if you have the strength to survive or the kindness to appreciate. Good or bad these moments shape you. They drive you. They define you.
This little book of stories is meant to share with you my moments, not of my life, but the moments that will define my relationship with you. You chose how you want them to impact your life. For it is your life, not mine. But I can only give you my history and the moments I’ve had. You have a much longer lifetime to live out your moments.
I hope you find these stories as enjoyable to read as they have been for me to write and live them. Someday you’ll realize the bond that your parents and I have had well before you were born, you’ll hear all the good stories and times we’ve shared and even be part of a few new stories.
But no matter what happens in your life, good or bad, never forget the moments that define and shape you. Never let a moment take you over and never let a moment pass you by.
The following are my moments for you to learn from…
