It is simply amazing that one little gesture can turn your whole life around in a matter of seconds. I know I often rush through life, trying to keep up with all the demands of work, school, family, home.. and I forget to stop and breathe, smell the roses, smile at strangers, and appreciate life. I try to remind myself of it often. One of the best quotes I've ever heard-- "Be kinder than necessary - everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle." So true, isn't it? Again, great post Nate.

I guess that's one thing I got from you. :) You coming on Friday? Dude, I find myself using those, (as you so accurately put it) “parenthetical statements” constantly.

You see, I lost my brother to cancer a few years ago and my father two years ago to the same dreadful disease. Troubles in my life ensued. I won't go into any details. But I will say that my daughter has been my inspiration and strength ever since, not to mention family and very good friends who bring a little sunshine into my every day. Now, life is “grand,” so to speak, and getting better. And I'm networking with great people from all over the world that I never thought possible.

Nevertheless, thanks for sharing this incredible story.

By the way, I truly dig your A-Team concept and hope to contribute frequently – somehow.
