Choosing Greatness

Now here's one part of growing older that is really cool (the quote below is an email from a brother I have not seen in 19 years. Names in X for privacy)
YES XXX, I would like to see you.
Like I said: No one can change their past, so just sweep it off the table and enjoy the Life that we have all built, from our mistakes in part.
Later,

And trust me, between our group of siblings, there have been plenty of mistakes and pain and past. The cool part is that we each had the opportunity to overcome incredible odds to become who we are today. Well, heck, everyone has that opportunity. The cool part is, we each engaged in the opportunity to change radically, and we did.

RIP to family members who died before they saw their own potential for greatness.
