On January 16, 1982, Timothy Evans Oliver came into my life as my first born and my only son. A child born to lower middle-class parents, who would know difficulty most of his life, but one who would also eventually overcome life’s adversity.

In his teens and 20s Tim struggled with drug addiction and alcohol abuse, which ultimately earned him seven felony convictions and a 10 year prison sentence. This part of Tim's life is a story of rampant destruction and chaos but, as fate would have it, it evolved into a story of redemption. And in the end, Tim's life, like all our lives, mattered a great deal.

Tim did matter. But he mattered not simply because he was my son. He mattered because of what he was capable of and all the lost potential of what could be and what he eventually became before he lost his life on November 9, 2013 in an inexplicable automobile accident.

This book is my gift of love to you. That because my son, for all his missteps, was here and walked this planet you can know that you have value, that your addict friend matters, that your incarcerated family member has not yet been discarded, or that your deceased loved one made a difference in the world you might have overlooked when he or she was still alive.

And it is in that spirit I exhort you: spend this moment well, for the next is not promised.
