Fortunate Destiny, Luck or the Hands of Fate???

How wonderful it has been to be me over the past 55 years. I have had the fortunate destiny, luck or placement by the hands of fate to be allowed in the company of amazing women. 

My wife, my mom, my sisters, my girlfriends, my ex-wife (yes, even her), my sisters-in-law, my relatives, my daughters, and quite a few amazing friends, co-workers, colleagues and bosses. 

From them, I've learned to be compassionate, strong, graceful, athletic, focused, inspired, forgiving, strong, funny, intelligent, and a how to become a leader. 

I've learned that even I can deserve to be loved by someone other than myself. Because of that, I learned how to give love. 

From them, I've learned about beauty, about chaos, about laughter, and about loyalty. When to turn a phrase, when to turn away, when to turn silly, and when turn my ears to listen. 

When I meet our creator, I will thank her.
