is a dive instructor in Hawaii. That by itself, is enough to make most envious. However, I spent some time looking at pictures and videos of his life. I see a man who has a great family, a great life, a passion for living. I could say he appears to be one of the luckiest guys on earth, but that is not fair. Andy is fortunate, but not lucky. His lust for life, self confidence and fearless ability to be himself has provided him the life he has, the life he deserves. You may ask, how do I know this? I met Andy many years ago in college. He was an art student at the time. He had just started dating Angela, his wife. He (they, but that is another story) lived a few doors down from me, in a college dorm during our freshman year. He was already one of the shiny people then. I felt drawn to him like a moth. He and Angela seemed to be perfect for each other. I could tell he was going to have a special life.
Many years later, I find him on Facebook. He and Angela are still together and happy. He is a dive instructor in Hawaii. Well, of course they are and of course he is. I would of been disappointed if life had turned him into being just like everyone else. Who is Andy? He is a dive instructor in Hawaii, but really, he is anything he wants to be.
