This question is one that I actually skipped over last week (bad me!) because I had no idea how to answer it. I’m still not really sure, but I figured it’s a great opportunity for some free writing, so let’s just see what happens.<\/p>\n

It is the end of your life and you are up on stage being presented with a major award. What award is it, and what have you won it for?<\/b>

\nIt’s the end of my life…that’s the first part that struck me. I mean, I have no idea how much time will pass between now and then. Will I have written lots of books? Will anyone know I write books? Will I have grandchildren? Great-grandchildren? I think it’s that last one that I’d like to be known for.<\/p>\n

I mean, not necessarily having them, but knowing that my family that I’ve worried over is doing well and is continuing to live after I’m gone is a pretty special thing. I don’t really need an award to be proud of my children, to know that I’ve had my moments of failings, but that I’ve done my best to raise them to be good men. That’s important to me. I want them to be successful, to be happy, but it’s important to me that they’re also good. So perhaps, in my last days, if someone were to give me an award, it would be a crayon drawing that says Best Mom in the World on it with squiggly little signatures and lots of hugs.<\/p>\n
