My Dad dying and real estate

My Dad has passed away the afternoon of May 5th, 2017. What does this have to do with my real estate career? Well one word, everything.

My Dad, who I call Pops, was not in my life early on. He left us when I was born. But before he left, he made sure that my Mother did not name me Rosemary Jr. and I am forever grateful for that. As an adult we connected and established a relationship.  Even though that relationship was rocky and sometimes filled with anger and resentment, I'm grateful for it. I have long forgiving my Pops for missing my childhood years. As an adult I have let go of all of that anger, feelings of rejection, and animosity.  My spirit is free to love and forgive, unconditionally.

As for my Pops dying and my real estate career, well it's motivating me at supercharge speed to build a legacy with his name that I still carry. I want to dominate the real estate profession with innovation, success, and to ultimately build an enormous book of business and an enormous real estate portfolio.

I miss my Pops and I am sick over his passing. I wish I had more time to spend and visit with him. However, he will always be in my heart and that's a place that I can go to all of the time to visit with him.

Thanks all for reading my post.

RIP Henry Anderson Spence Jr.

I'm sure you can. My Dad did the best he could under the circumstances. As an adult, I understand that life is hard and difficult. As humans we make mistakes. Forgiveness is the key to happiness and I want to be happy.
