Live Like Lickiss

For some reason, the shower has always been my thinking spot.  It's strange, I know and I honestly have zero idea why thoughts come to me there.  I mean our shower isn't some luxury oasis or anything like that.  There's always too many shampoo bottles in there, the water pressure is lacking and when Brad was still with us, you never knew when a cold cup of water would come flying over the top at ya.  Regardless, it's where I think.

I guess it's fitting then that one day last week, the thought hit me.  Live Like Lickiss.  Now I'm pretty sure this was after a night when sleep full on eluded me so it may have taken my brain a few seconds (ok more like minutes) to full understand the words that were going through it.  The terms No Fear and Fight Like Lickiss were so ingrained to how Brad fought his battle.  He literally took the metaphoric bull by the horns and gave Pancreatic Cancer on hell of a fight with absolutely No Fear.  He fought like we all knew Brad Lickiss would.  

Now, that fight is over.  All of us who armored up and trudged into battle with him, no longer have a fight to fight.  Instead, what better way to honor and remember Brad than to LIVE like he did?  To find humor in every situation.  To give of oneself to help others. To love and cherish our loved ones, even the ones who challenge us.  To never quit until the job is done.  To always be there for a friend in need.  To simply Live and Love life?  There will never be another Brad Lickiss.  He truly was one of a kind but each and everyone of us can make the decision to LIVE like he did.  

So, with those words running through my head that morning in the shower, I realized I named this blog wrong,  It should be Live Like Lickiss so I will be changing it immediately.  And with this change, I challenge each and everyone of you to Live YOUR life Like Lickiss.
