As a child, I recall the many times my Uncle Lester stopped by our home to check-in with my Mother - a single-Mother raising nine children. Only my Uncle knows the motivation for these visits; however, based on his character, it was an act of love for those left behind from turmoil. Robert McKee simplifies the human condition in two words: pain and pleasure. When I returned to reside in Michigan, I had the pleasure of spending time with my Uncle at his home, and during the many times we shared lunch and dinner. He expressed the pain of not being able to drive and the great pleasure it brought him. In this life, we are fortunate to be blessed by the actions of others who so unconditionally sacrifice for the better of mankind - this was my Uncle. So very honored am I to have been a recipient; it is a pleasure to console my pain. Forever grateful am I to such a dear human who, so succinctly, whispered truth. John Fitzpatrick
