I want someone like Tim Russert in my life

I have been so inspired and impressed by the late Tim Russert, the host of NBC's Meet the Press.

The extensive coverage of his life in the wake of his sudden passing shows a man who had incredible integrity.

He cared about everyone he met and remembered the important things about their lives - especially family and children.

What a wonderful gift it must be to have memories of Tim remember details about their lives.

I want someone like Tim in my life. Everyone needs a dozen, no a hundred, people like Tim Russert in their lives.

And, you know... I want to live my life like people described how Tim lived his. Everything he did he did with passion. Being a father. Being an interviewer. Being a boss. Being a friend.

Go you must
No guest
Shall stay long
In one place forever
Love will be lost
If you sit too long
At a friend’s fire.
