Lessons Learned

Some things you just can’t learn from your parents. Majority of teenagers don’t like to think of their parents as right, even if they are. We have to have proof to be able to believe it is possible for them to be right about something, even if it’s as small as how old the family pet is. I have learned a lot from people other than my parents.
One specific person that sticks out in my mind is Jim Brus. Jim taught me the right way to play golf, he helped me learn and memorize multiplication facts, and he helped me learn how to spell better. Since I met Jim he has been like a second grandfather to me so his death was rather difficult to experience. The date on his death certificate is different from the day I remember because the day he was declared legally dead and the day I lost him were three days apart.
