As one becomes more mature through life, you finally realize how much of an impact your Mom or Dad had on your life when you were younger. Well, my Dad made the largest impact - by what he did for this country and for our family. He had a lot of faults, but now I know that deep within his heart there was a lot of love and caring for me. Earlier years of our lives, we don't "dig" as deep as we should to learn about what's in our hearts and the loved ones around us. Positivity was always there between us, but was communicated in a way that I just didn't understand then. My Dad is not here any longer, but his memory is in my heart and will always be alive for as long as I am.

We've all had people in our lives who have made a positive impact on us. A parent or grandparent, a sibling who was there for us, or maybe even just a guy who shines shoes for a living? Whoever they are, tell us their story so they can inspire us even more.
