My father (deceased twenty years ago), my mother (still raising farm animals at seventy eight), my three uncles who were war veterans, my wife who works harder than I do and still keeps going, my kids who struggle every day and still keep trying, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, John Muir, Theodore Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, John Lennon, Khalil Gibran, PIXAR, Maya Angelou, John Irving, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash (so many more artists, poets and philosophers - too many to name, but I have hit a few at the top) ...
Way too many seems the same as having no one to admire, but FUCKK!! we are who we are and we are made up of those who have influenced us, now and forever.
