A great man was born 7/7

Clint Layton a great man was born 7/7/1978. From that moment he was born I was around him. What a great man to grow up with. I honestly have not been the same since he has been gone as I know others have had those feelings as well. He left a huge mark in this world and on me in particular. I can still remember what he told me that he learned from his brother Casey, "its about creating memories dude."

I think it really hit me hard to the core when I went to see Big Hero 6.  The directors of Big Hero 6 talked about an important scene that really  made me cry and I remember my daughter looking up at me saying, "its okay Dad". 

The directors say: "ultimately to us the theme of the movie is about loss and the realization that when people die they don't really go away, they live on through the people that are left behind through their actions and in their heart and memory. And Baymax is trying to dig at that emotional truth. And part of the power of the scene comes from a setup very early in the movie where Baymax, for the first time, does say, Tadashi is Here."

While watching Hiro look at images of Tadashi on Baymax's belly screen, I noticed I had all those memories of Clint from 7/7/1978 to the day my friend passed on. They were all locked away in my head. These memories were there and all I had to do was just recall them and "remember". 

So I say "Clint is Here!"
