To my grandson Lucas

Play with wild abandon, no matter how old you are. Think big, and if that doesn't work, think bigger. Life is all about how you handle Plan B. In the end, this will be the true test of your character. Don't do dumb stuff (you know what!), because your future does not lie in front of you. It resides within you.

Rise up by helping others up. Forgive everyone everything. Be kind and always play fair, even when others don't. Honor your legacy with your integrity. There is no right way to do a wrong thing. The good guys always win, eventually. Always remember that I believe in you...always have...always will. And most of all, remember that you are enough, just the way you are.  Love, Grandpa
