There are special people in our lives that never leave us even after they are gone.
Scott was one of those people\u2026. my first memories of Scott are of a perfect little kid. Of course a lot of little kids seem perfect when you\u2019re not their parents. But even though I wasn\u2019t around him a lot over the years, I never saw a \u201cbad\u201d \u2014 or even an unpleasant, side to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Admittedly it was from a distance, but I saw Scott grow up and become, by any standard, successful. He excelled at just about anything he attempted \u2014 and anything he did, he did well. His dad, Al, and I used to periodically talk about our kids and Al always said Scott drove him crazy sometimes because everything he did had to be perfect. Al thought he must have taken more after his mom than himself. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s true, but if you knew Scott, it was obvious he was the product of good parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scott\u2019s life was way too short \u2014 but he made the most of it. I read something once that went something like this\u2026.
Life is a song \u2014 sing it. Life is a game \u2014 play it. Life is a challenge \u2014 meet it. Life is a dream \u2014 realize it. Life is a sacrifice \u2014 offer it. Life is love \u2014 enjoy it.\u00a0
I know it wasn\u2019t necessarily always easy, but Scott did just that and in the end, it\u2019s not how long life is, but how good it is that matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They say that grief is the price we pay for love \u2014 today we\u2019re all paying that price, but we can take comfort knowing that although life has to end \u2014 love doesn\u2019t.\u00a0
Here\u2019s to Scott \u2014 a life spent bringing joy, laughter and happiness to others\u2026.
