i never got a chance to share this story. You know when you have moments and you always think you would show up differently.
A couple of years ago Amber and I went to Bill's house. He had recently bought a new Cadillac. I was pumped for him. I asked him if he would show me. With a huge smile he gladly walked me down a set of stairs to his garage. It was an awesome fall night. The garage door was open and it was just the two of us. One single light bulb overhead. I looked around and told him how awesome I thought the car was and that i was super excited for him. With such grace he shrugged it off and pressed me for specifics of my life, my career, and my only a year old marriage. All he could talk about was me, my life. It was his car i wanted to see. It was my life he wanted to know about. He had such genuine thoughts and questions, he asked them as if life depended on it. His house was full of people. He hugged me tight and told me he was proud of me... Every time i was with Bill i felt like a million bucks, i only hope to have that affect on those around me.
