endev42 - documenting the meaning of life

A great question, for sure. I’m a college graduate but I’m certainly not a philosopher nor a scholar so I can only answer the question by giving my humble opinion. I have always felt that Life is about Passion and since the age of 10 my passions were Baseball & Golf! I spent 44 years in professional Baseball and loved every minute of it. My off days were naturally spent on the golf course.

However, at the age of 70 I had a near-death experience being diagnosed with a deadly form of bladder cancer. Through the grace of God, the skilled hands of a great surgeon and the support of an incredible Family I had a radical cystectomy and completely recovered. I’m living a great 2ndlife and I can say that almost dying made living so much more precious to me. The Ultimate Meaning of Life for me is … 1) FAITH 2) FAMILY 3) FRIENDS and 4) PASSIONS! I Thank God each & every day to extending my Life and giving me more time for Family & Friends. I take nothing for granted.

Sincerely,

Tom Gamboa
