Tim Russert

There are a lot of memorials on Tim Russert today. He was a journalist, a father, a friend, and a good guy. I did not know him personally, but I watched him all the time on TV. You could see the twinkle in his eye, as he loved what he did. One tragic thing about his death was how close it came to Father's Day. He will be so closely associated with Father's Day through the love for his son and his books about his father. If one can take a lesson from all of this, you need to not take life for granted and you need to love life. Love what you do. Have fun. Do good things. Whatever is your work, do the best that you can do. Don't forget your family, especially your parents. They brought you into this world. And, when it is your time to go onto Heaven, may someone say about you how much you loved life and did the best you could to make it just a little better. Rest in peace, Tim. You were a good guy.
