Understandable. Man loves treasures way too much, and he cannot take them with him when it is his time to leave this earth.

I have learned over my life that although I have some treasures I take everywhere with me, I really need very little of this life's clutter both physical and emotional. My mind and heart are with Wiley now as he fights his last fight here and I am wishing I could go with him.
