Chad's Journals

Tomorrow, it will be five years since Chad died. As my Dad wrote me tonight, "5 years...another reminder of the relentless passage of time. My sense of sorrow and loss has not really diminished correspondingly…."

So as I think of Chad tonight, I am publishing the first in a series of excerpts from his diaries. He spent a lot of time thinking about how his life could make a difference for others, and one message he wanted to share was the importance of getting the most out each day. 

This first passage is undated, but found at the back of the diary he started on December 29, 2001, as pictured above.

Life's eternal struggle is to be totally content with every day of your life. This is possible only by choosing the right path for you. Do something you love while earning a living is how I will live. I don't think I've understood that, nor does 80% of the population. Whatever I choose, let my hair grow long and stress be limited to where the next vacation will be. 


Publish this book when the time is right. "Everyone has a story, this is mine. I am not famous, just a regular guy trying to live life to its fullest."

    Chad wrote in two journals over the years. Some passages set goals or track his medical progress, others reflect back and tell the story of his diagnosis and the struggle of living with multiple myeloma. Throughout, there are his thoughts on how to get the most out of life, no matter what.
