Kara Sailing with Dad, ©1969 Todd Murphy
SUCCESS
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dear Kara, you are in my prayers. Your father must’ve been very proud of you because you are such a beautiful, brilliant, and caring person. I am very happy that I met you and shared a good trip. Life is a long journey and sometimes sorrows overwhelm us. But we always have the strength to carry on, with memories to cherish forever.
Best, Tao
