The Legacy That Outlives Us
When James Dobson was forty-four, a sobering realization struck him: he had already used 72% of his expected lifespan. This jarring calculation came during a period of profound reflection triggered by his father's sudden death and his own heart attack. Playing basketball at a local YMCA, a teenager's innocent comment - "You must have been sompin' in yo' prime!" - wounded him deeply. Wasn't he still in his prime? The disconnect between his inner sense of youth and the reality of aging became impossible to ignore. Life's brevity became painfully evident through personal losses. During a final lucid conversation with his mother as she declined with Parkinson's disease, he thanked her for her sacrifices and faith. More jarring was his father's death - blessing Sunday dinner one moment and gone the next. These experiences forced him to confront an essential question: What truly matters in our fleeting lives? People seek various forms of immortality - through buildings, art, business empires, children, literature, even cryonics - yet all ultimately preserve only memory. After winning a Monopoly game and returning the pieces to the box, Dobson had an epiphany: all earthly acquisitions must eventually "be returned to the box." This perspective transformed his approach to fatherhood, prioritizing time with his children over career advancement. When his son left for college, the emotional impact of the empty nest hit hard. What endures isn't our achievements or possessions, but the love we've shown and the faith we've lived.
