What do I pick now?

A year has passed since the loss of a great man. While today was filled with laughter, joy, and happiness, at least for me, there was a lingering remembrance of that very day. Staying ever so vivid in my mind, I can see him and I remember what I was feeling. Almost an out of body experience, it was a shocking since of reality. "Is this really happening...has this day actually come?" It had. It did. And today I feel a hint of sadness but also relief. I know that the pain that was there for him as well as us is gone. Those who go before us are deemed PREDECESSORS. Those left behind, his legacy. What would I have picked then? To be the predecessor. What do I pick now? Seeing my nephew's joy on his second birthday today....the legacy! Love and miss you Uncle Mike. Until we meet again, Chels
