Max grew into a thoughtful, steady, and kind young man, wise far beyond his years. At his graduation, he handed us that same DVD of Titanic with a heartfelt note: Thank you for steering me through life—even when we couldn’t see the icebergs. Sometimes the iceberg isn’t the end—it’s a reminder to steer with your heart.
It’s a small story with a big lesson: sometimes the greatest wisdom comes from the smallest voices. And sometimes, life’s “icebergs”—the obstacles, the surprises, the missteps—aren’t the end. They’re reminders to slow down, notice what really matters, and steer with care, patience, and love.
