On the evening of December 17th 2025, I received a text message via my email address that shocked me, then brought me back to reality. With life, there will be death. What one person gains going through this journey is likely not measurable.The message from the daughter of a great mentor simply stated that her Father passed away that morning.
Then, I heard this saying and I can actually witness the fact of it being true by the very person I speak of in this blog.
‘ When life changes, you don’t lay down and die. Instead, you get up and
keep moving.’
Once in April of 1995, I recall Mr. Odis Howard, Sr. stand with some young men and myself at a Wedding event representing his son, Odis Howard, Jr who was away serving our country (USA) during a major war conflict.
At that time, I realized how blessed I was and all of the men standing with us were to have Mr. Odis Howard, Sr. representing his Son and the Howard Family.
Following that experience - other times, I found myself calling up Mr. Howard on the phone to discuss the Atlanta Falcons during Football Season. He is and will always be an inspiration to me.
Thank you Mr. Odis Howard, Sr. for your motivation. Until we meet again, take care, Sir.
