We lost my dad seven years ago today. I still think of him and miss him every day. Dad was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2009. It was out of the blue. The week before, he was golfing and playing racquetball. Dad was an extraordinary man: funny, supportive, strong, loving. His message to us kids throughout life said most of what you needed to know about the man:

“Be yourself. Be honest. Do your best. Take care of your family. Treat people with respect. Be a good citizen. Follow your dreams.”

Listen to this special episode for his influence on my, my family and Life's Golden Ticket. To all those who posted kind thoughts today about my dad on my Facebook and Instagram, thank you. - Brendon
