Tag I'm It

Well, my friend Trish has tagged me and this is a different type of tag than normal. Here are the rules:

Grab the nearest book.
Open the book to page 56.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the text of the next two to five sentences.
Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the closest.

Here it is. The closest book is Raising a Modern-Day Knight by Robert Lewis. The fifth sentence on page 56 happens to be a replication of a letter from a son to his father shortly after the father's surgery to treat brain cancer. I'm going to include the entire paragraph:

Yes, we all do have to go sometime, but in real measure, we all live on in the sons and daughters in whom we invest our lives. I wonder if that's where the term "to pass on" comes from. People often say individuals have "passed on" when they really mean they aren't here anymore. But people really do pass on themselves... You have passed on to me and Bill, Don, and Greg qualities of devotion to Mom, wise decisions about important matters in life, and that delicate balance between concern for your kids and freedom to let them do their own things. All of that has worked together very well. Four sons with four stable marriages and four solid careers. That's a legacy to be proud of in this day. Dad, you have raised us all well, and in the process you have given me a sure road map for my own life. I'm just following you...
Love, Tom
