DAD  HAD A HARD LIFE, SO  IN  TERMS  OF  A  LEGACY  HE  ALWAYS  WORRIED  THAT  HE  DIDN'T  HAVE  MUCH  TO  LEAVE  US  OR  AS  THEY  SAY  'PASS  ON  TO  US'  BUT  HE  ALWAYS  TAUGHT  US  THAT  THERES  MORE  TO  LIFE  THAN  WHO  YOU  ARE  OR  HOW  MUCH  YOU  HAVE,  HE TAUGHT  US  TO  ENJOY  THE  SIMPLE  THINGS  IN LIFE,  SUCH  AS  'NATURE,  GOING  FOR  A  WALK  ON  A  SUNNY  DAY, PASSING  THE  TIME  OF  DAY  WITH  SOMEONE,  AND  THAT  THERES  ALWAYS  PEOPLE  WORSE  OFF  THAN  YOU, DAD  HAD  A  SIDE  THAT ALOT OF  PEOPLE RARELY SAW AND THATS A SHAME. DAD SAID LIFE IS A GAMBLE, SOMETIMES YOU WIN AND SOMETIMES YOU LOSE, HE WAS SO RIGHT.
