How Great is a Man?

There's a lot that can be said about a man when he leaves this spinning rock which we call
home. He will be remembered and maybe even judged on his accomplishments. His life will be celebrated and his friends and family will have been taken note of for times in the man's life.
First, it will be his wife and then his children. It will be talked about how his children, no matter the age, would become like children again every time the man would walk into a room. And his wife loved him like none other. It will be talked about how he raised and ran his family to the best of his ability with the help of God watching over him and Jesus right by his side. Will it have been perfect? Far from it. There will have been many, many bumps along the road up and down life's mountain.
Then will come friends and co-workers. They will talk about how the man influenced their lives and, if it wasn't for said man, they would not have been the same. They will talk of his accomplishments in the workplace and how the place won't be ran the same without him.
Church family will talk of the man's faith in God and our risen savior, Jesus. How, no mater what was going on, the man will be recognized for his unwaivering ability to stand firm to the faith that he professed and he carried out his God-given duties in accordance with God's word.
However, how great is a man that his opinion hold so much weight with his son that said son would be concerned with the man's opinion of said son's accomplishments when they meet again in Heaven?
