You were born at 3 o'clock in the morning on December 27, 1988, a birth day I'll never forget. The coaches who stood by your mother during your birth were your AuntJody and your Aunt Barbara B. The physician on call who delivered you was your Aunt Barbara T. Four sisters. You weighed 1 pound 7 ounces. You were about 11 inches tall. You were a light brown color all over-with a nice amount of dark hair. Grandma was impressed by your eyelashes and fingernails; you looked complete even though I could hide your entire body under one hand. Dr. Radecki said you had a 5 to 10 percent chance of living three days.

As an author, Max De Pree is well-known for his four bestselling leadership books. But if that is all you know of Max De Pree, your picture is rich but incomplete. Max wrote four other books with much smaller circulation. He wrote for his grandchildren. In 1996 HarperCollins published Dear Zoe, a series of personal letters written to his granddaughter-a grandfather's heart opened to a small child prematurely born. While not seeing wide circulation, this portrait of a heart beating in love has been a healing word to many families I know. In recent years Max has devoted considerable time to a three-volume reflection on the family history that cradles his grandchildren, Our Journey: De Pree Family Stories.' Again, circulation was restricted to family and a few friends but the human spirit revealed offers Max as grandchild, son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. The working career is an important piece of our journey but the human community of family and friends surrounds us from birth to the end.
