A Tribute to Rodney: Ten Things to Live By

I just lost my stepson last week.  He was 37.  I had been with him for 9 years and two years ago, when his father died, I became his guardian.
Rodney had down syndrome and was delightful. Today is his memorial service and we plan to have some readings along this very theme.  It reminds me of how lucky we were that Rodney taught us this in person.

I wrote a poem for him, that I'll read at the service and then we're going to listen to the Beach Boys and have root beer floats (two of his favorite things).  Thank you for this.

Ten Things to Live By As Taught by Rodney

Throw back your head and enjoy life

Laugh until the tears come

Dance while the music is playing

Give hugs to anyone who needs one

Taste everything good

Cuddle the animals

Never pass up an opportunity for a friend

Smile really big

Remember to say you're sorry

AND YES, ENJOY LIFE!
