Peter and Grafdfather - Eternal Pals |
Yesterday my grandfather, Richard
Burns Schealer, passed away. I've spent my whole life trying my very best to emulate
him and work toward being like him, but now I understand that there will never
be a man like him in the world ever again. He taught all of us in the family what it really meant to be
a man, to love with all of your heart, to accept others unconditionally, and
the importance of living a life of integrity, courage, and respect. I will miss him every day and take his stories and lessons with me for the rest of my life and try to impart his wisdom and caring into my son as best I can.
To be one-tenth the man and teacher that he was is
all I can ever hope for in life.
