At the ripe age of 57 years one comes to accept two things :- (1) that one is a mortal
person whose personal traits, likes and dislikes , strengths and weaknesses, mental and
physical vulnerabilities are not all unique to me, but rather it shared by others whose
social, professional and educational background and life experiences are similar to mine.
(2) As a mortal person, I accept that I will one day die, the question is not how I will die
or of what I will die , but rather whether the life I lived was of positive value to myself
and to others; if I lived my life in such a way that made things even a bit better for those I
hold dear and if the life I lived served to inspire others close to me to become the best
that they can become.
At age 57 years I do not spend my time thinking of death or ill health, but rather of life
and the road ahead. The reasons for looking back at the road walked is done for the
purpose of reflecting on what was, the errors made and the victories won; I look back at
those with whom I walked the road of life and those I passed along the road of life for the
purpose of seeing how and where I walked so that I may walk in a better way tomorrow. I
look back at my relationship with my daughter in order to see how I may be of help to her
tomorrow from a back stage position rather than upstaging her in the playing of her role.

End
To be able to deal with tomorrow in a much better and wiser way than I did yesterday and
to do much better than I did yesterday, is to go page by page through this photo essay of
my life in order to indentify meaning and things worthy of being kept.
