The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult.

Inspiration and Appreciation: Remembering Adam

God works in mysterious ways…”

I dont remember the first time I met Adam.
I don’t remember our first words or the first time we had a disagreement.

Last night I received a text informing me of his death.

I was stunned.
I was speechless.
I was… a man without words.

As I sat down last night,
I began to remember.
I remembered this kid who had worked so hard
and was destined to become a man of character.

I remembered this person who cared so much for people
his people
whether they were his family he had come in contact with.

I remembered this person who always had a smile on his face
this person who for some reason managed to find the good in people
even if they could not find the good in themselves.

Adam, you and I didn’t always see eye to eye.
We didn’t always agree.
Yet, I would like to believe that there was a mutual respect.

I hope that wherever you are,
you are doing great things and inspiring the heavens above.


There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without but have to let go.  ~Author Unknown
