It's been 365 days since my father lost his battle with cancer. I've thought of him every single day. I wrote this shortly after he passed, and I still feel sadness, but death is apart of life. It's the one guarantee we all face. What you do from now until your dying day is what counts. Cycle of Life-When you lose someone close to you I think you experience different emotions, and depending on your mental make up it can have a positive, or negative effect. With the loss of my father I feel sadness, and there’s an emptiness that I feel will always exist. Often I catch myself stuck in a trance of sorts, that 1000-yard stare. The first few days were rough. I’m fortunate enough to have good people who support me, and to them I’m thankful. The day after he died one of my friends became a father, and just a few weeks’ prior another friend became a father. I’ve been looking through old pictures, and found some of me as a newborn with my pops. 28 years after those pics’ he passed. This is the cycle of life. A person dies, as another is brought into this world. This has given me clarity, and allowed me to understand what’s important in life. Life is short, and to spend it doing something you’re not passionate about, or to live in such a way that life just passes you by is simply a waste. Live hard, love hard, and pursue your goals with an unmatched level of tenacity and passion, and I promise you will be satisfied. Music in the soul can be heard by the universe. – Lao Tzu Tonight I raise my glass in honor of my old man, and to all of those we’ve lost. Cheers. #RIPPops #LoveYou #GlobalRecon #Memories #CycleOfLife #LovedOnes #CrushShit #Path #Life #Love #WorkHard
