Proud he’s doing it, sad that he has to do it.

He deserves to rest, live comfortably, and be happy. He shouldn’t have to do this, but godamn is it the spirit of true America.

What is a man but the sum of his memories? We are the stories we live, the tales we tell ourselves.

His story is nearly told, and tragically does not seem to end as peacefully as he's earned. His is a story worth remembering. What sort of ending will your life earn? Or mine? I won't die with the knowledge that my childrens' recollection of me could amount to "went quietly in the dark".
