This afternoon I am going to pay my final respects to the second greatest man that I have had the pleasure of knowing since my father; Mr. Michael Dixon.
Mr. Dixon is my nephews grandfather and they adored their Papa. It is through them that I had the privilege to get to know him. Every time I saw Mr. Dixon he always had a smile and he was always leaving or returning from somewhere. He always greeted me with a hug and asked about my health. It always impressed me that he knew about my disability. He would always encourage me to stay strong and told me to be blessed.
As I reflect on his life Im inspired. Mr. Dixon' actually made a difference. He transformed his love for people into actual action and did things to affect change in his community.
He was a regular guy and his life affected so many in a positive way. Im just a regular person with a love of humanity too. I hope that through my writing and my all out assault against Multiple Sclerosis that I provoke a thought or stimulate a smile or someone is encouraged to fight against their adversity.
Mr. Michael Dixon your legacy lives on; you may be gone but you will never be forgotten.
