Nice story. I was hoping for some more "groundbreaking revelations." However, the opposite was the conclusion:
> he was a man like any other.
He had hopes and dreams. Triumphs and failures. Faith and doubt.
I write a lot of notes. I imagine there are some great takeaways in there. And sadly, I'm not very optimistic about those having any impact, especially if I get hit by a bus tomorrow. Mortality... Blah.
I know how you feel. I suspect the only way to get them to have impact is do something else great or become famous so that at some point someone even bothers to go through them. :)
Hehe, sometimes feels like that but we have family stories in my family about incredible things in people's lives. Even if your descendants only get one amazing story out of your life, it adds up when combined with all the other stories from other lives.
For just one example: one of my great great grandmother's was living in the desert and quick thinking when a son was hit in the face with an axe blade, stitched it up with her sewing kit and needle. He survived and recovered. Its just one story, but it's fun to tell in the family
