When all of the conceits and pretenses have been
stripped away from my life, what do I want to be my
defining attribute? What is the essential "me-ness"
of Me?
After all, I am many things.
I am a developer; an engineer; a problem solver.
A public speaker; a private conspirator. I like to read;
to argue; to understand. I need love; and to be loved.
I am a prolific scorer; and yet often lose. An unquench-
able imbiber. A cynic; an unbeliever that has lost his
white gold ring.
I am all of these things.
And yet none of those things matter - not truly. When
all is stripped away there will still be that one essential
thing. That one word that I continually strive, and
often fail, to live up to. My failures will not daunt me,
the few successes make it all the more precious.
And the smiles, always the smiles.
I am a Dad.
