keep an open mind
no matter what you hear
a loving heart
no matter how you are treated
never forget the blood in your veins
where you come from is who you are
take the high road
over pettiness and jealousy
don’t avert your eyes
from injustice to anyone
always be kind
to all, yes, all
follow your own path
no matter how lonely
seek knowledge
wherever it lies
always have passion
for what who
you love

Awesome words.

Mighty good advice . . .
I’ve tried to follow them my whole life.
Wise words, you were indeed fortunate.
That I was. Thank you.
Sounds like they were both men of integrity. Can you imagine how the world would be if everyone took those words to heart? Anita
A better place, I’m sure.

Love this – particularly ‘never forget the blood in your veins’ – really spoke to me…
Thank you, Maureen.
The world needs those fathers.
I certainly agree.

Glad you liked their advice.
