Old Man Look at My Life
I remember two years ago when I wrote an essay about Newell Strength in 60 years .
It was actually Christmas eve as I was writing it and I had to stop after every damn sentence to gather myself .
A few weeks later we had our staff holiday party and I shared with the team bits and pieces of what I had written and again , emotion overcame me .
I used to think showing my emotions was a sign of weakness , now I know it ’ s a sign of inner strength .
Nevertheless , when I wrote that piece about going into Newell Strength for one final workout when I was well into my 90 ’ s , not a person in there knowing me from Adam , it was a flash-forward about life and the special memories and connections we make with others on a daily basis .
Life is precious , you know that , but YOU , like me , forget that sometimes .
Devon took this picture of me and Brax the other morning when I slept on the recliner with him as he was running a high fever .
I have been toying around with this idea of my Old Man article for a few weeks and this picture cemented it for me . Enjoy …
Old man look at my life , I ' m a lot like you were .
