Introduction

In my brief 51 years on this planet, I've had the fortune of being surrounded by some incredible people; people with talent, humour, charisma, drive, and charm.  I have also had the misfortune to lose many of these people.  Losing someone close to you is so difficult, but I feel that it is important for me to honour their memory by sharing with you some of the great life lessons that each has taught me, and in turn, perhaps teach you.  In this way, their legacy lives on and their spirit remains alive.  I feel it's the least I can do for such great people.
