Origin of the Life Lessons from Chris Dunlap
This book contains Life Lessons Chris wrote to himself on his laptop computer. Each Life Lesson we found is a phrase of a few words or sentence. When our daughter, Lindsey, found them on his computer after he died, we were astounded at their wisdom, perception and depth. With the backdrop of the journey in Chris’s life and in my life, we have found these Life Lessons to be especially meaningful. We carry them around with us and contemplate what they meant to Chris. We have given out these Life Lessons to over one hundred people. To this end, this book is about providing you the Life Lessons Chris wrote. Each chapter of this book starts with the Life Lesson we found. Then with the help of my wife, Cindy, and my daughter, Lindsey, the family provides the background and stories for what we believe the Life Lesson meant personally to Chris. Finally, we conclude each chapter with what Chris taught us personally through our difficult journey through life and how each Life Lesson is changing us.
It appears Chris wrote the Life Lessons during his last few years of life here on earth. He told no one about these Life Lessons and only Chris knew they existed. They are astounding when related to the friendships he experienced and the heart-wrenching tragedies from his personal journey through his 30 years of young life.
We think it fitting, as a tribute to Chris’s life, to share these Life Lessons with you. If they help you, as they did us, we are sure Chris would not mind that we shared them. After all, helping others was what his life was all about.
