This town is a small-ish place to call home, but it still floors me that no matter which circle of folks I hang out with - if Marcus's name happens to come up - everyone always is quick to claim him as one of their BEST. And, Marcus's name comes up a lot. He moved through all the people, scooping them up and making them feel like they were part of a very important and special place - a circle of love and fun and acceptance. A lot of us are lucky enough to be parents. I keep thinking about Marcus and how he can help me share things with my own kids about priorities, relationships, and gratitude. Live like Marcus means a lot. His example is powerful.
