The Rest of Me…
Dennis L. Stafford
As I reflect upon my life and conclude this portion of my writing, I want to say that we in life must be the “seeds” of all miracles to come. Miracles happen when you plant, nourish, and grow the seeds you plant in life. When those seeds are nourished with love, kindness, planning, preparation, forgiveness, and understanding; although, we at the time may not be able to understand ourselves how well they will grow. Use your talents in life to brighten the lives of those around you, as what you give will come back to you a thousand fold. Hold to those around you as long as you can and be prepared for them to move on, to do what you have tried to do so much in life.
We are all God’s Miracles and we will continue the cycle as long as life continues.
So with much Love and Consideration, I give this writing to you in order that you will continue on your own traditions and nourish those loved ones around you.
In life you may realize so many things that could have been changed or made better, but we all do the best we can knowing that we all are human and mistakes will be made. In our hearts, this sometimes will not answer completely what we have done or not done in life, but remember that the love and consideration you give to others will be reflected on you, as the ocean reflects the sand. “We are the past to the present”!
Danny Stefano… “May memories last beyond a lifetime”!
Conclusion:
As I end my first, last and only book I must say it was fun writing. It gave me a chance to look back and re-live some wonderful moments of then and now. I now realize there are so many more moments that need to be shared and new experiences to be had.
It was my pleasure to write and share these along with my desire to know that these memories will be shared by others in time.
Again so many thanks to a wonderful family, (now and then) and a special shout-out to Carol Stafford and Steve Mistretta that helped me make this possible.
As Dennis would say: good luck and enjoy your family!
As Danny would say: buona fortuna e godere la vostra famiglia!
Fine! (the end)
