Gone is Gone

The year 2012 may not have been globally blasphemous, personally it certainly was. The moment I received the call, ironically I thought of everyone in my life except him. He was too strong, too large in life to leave us behind. That sunset and the following sunrise on my way back home changed everything. It left me behind with one taste for this one life. I waited all my life in anticipation that there would be a time where he and I would live life backwards, I would enjoy him getting younger and he would enjoy me getting older. There is no later in life, every moment is here, now! Love someone? tell them now, miss someone? call them now. What do we wait for?

We are replaceable in our offices, but yet we try to hold on to that spot more than our life. We spend more time away from the things we love the most that are irreplaceable. I envy those who find their true calling and a balance between their lives. I have always heard myself tell others "the day you realize your a fool, you have become a little wiser". I have been a fool.

I cannot call you, but I will tell you that I miss you dad. I hope to be atleast 50% of the man you have been and I would consider my life a success.
