"If we are religious, whether God is pleased with us. If we are not religious, whether we have left our mark, however small or subtle, upon the human race."

Just a thought - the latter "condition" is probably just as applicable to the former group.

Dean, at his young age, has already made his good mark on the human race, has already left this world better for his having been born in it.

Dean ... thanks. In my book, you certainly have met - and exceeded - at least one of your goals :)

Well done indeed. To love your wife, as you put it... Your Beloved Wife and two sons. Being a loving husband and father is the greatest accomplishment of your life. Another gift? Forgiveness.

I notice you have this accomplished as well:
Compassion, understanding and not judging by walking in another man's shoes. Believe me, they are accomplishments too.
