Not really up to writing, but I thought y'all might enjoy this - from Chief Tecumseh
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
If you can, please do leave a comment. I am trying to answer all, and I am failing, but please know this - I read and treasure each one.

I can see why you chose this writing to share with us. You have sung your death song and when you die, Andrew, you will die like a hero. Praying you feel encouraged today in the fact that many so appreciate you and value the wisdom you've shared with us each painful step along the way.
