Introduction to My Life

After my dad died and I wrote a tribute letter for lack of a better term, and my daughter asked that I tell her more about my childhood. She said that the letter I wrote had things about our nicknames and stories she had never heard before, and she really wanted to know more. I read an autobiography once where the author said he thought everyone should write an autobiography. I think it might have been Bill Clinton. I had thought of that, but I think putting down memories in a simple blog post format might be better. That way it is almost like a living document. 

My goal for this blog will be to create posts about different events in my life from early childhood all the way to current day. With my dad's passing, I want to get as many memories of my life with him written down as soon as possible. As I have aged, I have forgotten so much of my life. I want to make sure that I document as much as possible in case I end up in the same situation as my dad.

I tend to favor positive stories over negative ones, but to give a full picture, I will include some of the negative moments in my life. I have definitely made some bad choices in my life, so most of the negative things that have happened are probably a result of that, but there are also things that were based on the times. All in all, I think I have had a pretty good life and a lot of positive experiences. I hope you enjoy my sharing.
