Dear Humans,

At my grandma’s funeral last month, nobody talked about what kind of grades she got in 5th grade. And nobody talked much about what a great employee she was or how clean she kept her kitchen or how popular she was.

Maybe it was because she outlived most of the people who had that kind of dirt on her.

Instead, people talked about how she lived her life with style and boldness. They talked about the things she did that made her the one and only person who ever has and ever will be like her.

There’s a lot in life that makes us the same. But what matters is what makes us unique. And that is completely up to us.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
