I was bowled over when I turned on the television Friday evening and saw a graphic at the bottom of the screen that said “Remembering Tim Russert.” He was so much on top of his game and his life ended so suddenly.
For the most part, my background and Tim Russert’s could not be much different. He grew up in south Buffalo, the son of a sanitation worker. I grew up in the Midwest, 8 miles from a town of a thousand people. But, I can so relate to how he sees being the son of hard working people was great preparation for life. Like Tim Russert, my parents taught me that life doesn’t owe you anything; you have to get out there and work hard.
You will be encouraged if you watch even 5 minutes of this.
