Maybe it’s Memorial Day.
Maybe it’s my grandson.
Maybe it’s the fact that I’m now living in the same decade in which my father passed over 30 years ago.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my dad. He became a commissioned officer in the Navy while attending Notre Dame—a man of quiet strength and service. He never got to meet my three boys, and in one of life’s surreal moments, I learned he had passed just seconds after finding out my first child would be a boy.
He would’ve adored his grandsons. He never would’ve missed a game, a concert, a moment. I just know it.
Like many parents, I once measured legacy in financial terms. Today, I see it differently. Legacy is how we love. How we show up. How we care for the body and mind we’ve been given—so we can be there for the people we love, for as long as possible.
Yesterday, I got to celebrate Memorial Day with my sons, my family, and my grandson - who gave me a little glimpse of what my dad missed, and a beautiful reminder of what I still get to cherish. And yes… another grandchild is on the way. My heart is full.
To those who served and sacrificed for this nation—your legacy is immense. And for me? If my grandson remembers piggyback rides, and maybe says, “my grandpa had big muscles,” I’ll take that.
I don’t claim to have it all figured out.
But I’m not done trying.
Happy Memorial Day. And with a full heart—thank you to all who serve. 🇺🇸💪🏼
