It is good to be on the other end as well - remembered for the affection you show those nearest to you. Hah, hah! Are you going to remember us when you are a super bigshot guru (who incidently I won't knock)?? Will my emails be answered? :P It’s nice to hear how thoughtful you are with the people you care about Jason.

The second is my wife, who inspires me, loves me, and shows me that soul mates do exist on a regular basis. The third is a friend whom I am no longer in contact with... but her acceptance of me and encouragement to look over the limits I had placed on myself at the time helped me to become who I am today. My wife hears (and sees... that's important, too!) how much she means to me every day. My father hears it every few days (he lives 2000+ miles away, hard to "show" him very often, other than with my words). The friend heard it often when we were in contact, but I have not talked to her in years, and wouldn't even know how to get in contact with her today. Oh, and by the way, I resent the knock on gurus... I may not be one yet, but I aspire to be! :P I have had three people who have had a huge impact in my life… one is my dad, whom I look to as a model any time I don’t know what to do in a given situation (except with computers… grr he irritates me when I have to help him with computers).

I should not be the one on the defense about my driving! I have a stick shift - so it gets a little jerky sometimes. I should not be the one on the defense about my driving!

Your post about your father was actually what got me to thinking about the influences of those closest to us. E - I resent that! :P Huh!! Commentary on my driving from a woman with whom it is only safe to drink any liquid or apply lipstick on the rare occassion we are at a dead standstill in front of a red light as we both know even being parked in a driveway is no guarantee of non-movement of said vehicle... ;) Thanks Dan.

After knowing you and reading this post, I can see the incredible impact Calvin had on your life. I can't imagine who you would have been without his influence. He gave you so much, and I am thankful that you are now sharing this with others. P.S. You did forget to mention that you also picked up, or at the very least shared, a few of the same driving habits too! Jenny, wow.

It's so sad that his life had to end so shortly after his fondest dream was realized. We all enter each others lives and teach each other valuable lessons. He taught you plenty and now you are passing those lessons on to everyone else you interact with, consciously and subsconsiously. Hugs Jenny. Jenny, this is such a wonderful tribute to Calvin.
