What really matters...

Over the last couple of days, I've been witness to the closest bond of love and comradary I've ever seen between men. Watching a group of Marines honor one of their own that's passed on unexpected is a tragic but beautiful thing to behold. There are enough examples of men fighting to gain power, position & wealth. I've seen enough malice and manipulation for the sake of personal gain. But sitting in that funeral service and listening to the stories of this man's life as a husband, father, friend and Marine, helped restore my hope in humanity and solidify my faith. It is possibly for a person to love unconditionally. It is possible to impact to lives of hundreds with simple acts of kindness and a positive attitude. His example in life has taught and inspire so many and he wasn't a powerful ,well-known person. Just someone that understood the importance of an open hand and an open heart.
