What I Learned From the Death of My Grandfathers

This holiday season I lost both of my grandfathers just a few days apart. Neither were entirely unexpected, but it was still a blow. But in losing the eldest patriarchs of my bloodline, it got me thinking about the idea of masculine legacy. I believe the modern world has put too much emphasis on worldly achievement, especially for men. When I was younger, I internalized this and thought "unless I change the world in some massive way - I'm a complete failure." But to think that way would be accuse these two great men of being failures. Neither of them accomplished anything world-shaking. Their names won't be in any history books. But their kindness, generosity, love and support gave the strength that has allowed two family lines to flourish. When I look at all the goodness that flows out of both sides of my family, and imagine all of that goodness as it expands into future generations… ...it becomes abundantly clear to me that for most men, the greatest legacy they can leave is morally strong and spiritually healthy families. Accomplishing this is no small feat in our corrupt modern world. It is a feat that requires true determination, faith, and strength. The path of the family man is as great and noble of a cause as any, perhaps even the greatest. For family is the font of life, and without life, what do we have? UYAP!
