Just got off the phone with my dad. Its the first time in what - TopicsExpress



          

Just got off the phone with my dad. Its the first time in what seems like forever that I have gotten to talk to him. Hearing him talk just a minute ago totally made me realize how truly grateful I am to have the family that I do. It also just reiterated the fact that there isnt a mountain I wouldnt climb or an ocean wouldnt cross to prove that.. If I didnt succeed in doing so, I guess that means Id die trying... And the thought of that is something I am unquestionably comfortable with. I have heard some things these past few days that have opened my eyes as to how fragile this life can be. I know all of us have said that... (meant it even) but I just have a hard time believing that its not a figure of speech, and something that is thrown around without being given too much thought... Bc I dont think we can really comprehend how true that is unless youre going through it. Ive been wondering which is worse, losing someone and dealing with the insurmountable pain that comes along with that... Or looking back in hindsight and seeing how much time and life has gone by since. I guess its just something that our minds cant fathom unless we have been through it. It is certainly bothersome at how fast our world can change. Family is the one thing in this world that is unwavering. I hate it that it takes someone elses pain and heartache for me to open my eyes and see things for what they really are...I am fortunate enough to realize I had the blinders on, rather than going on with my life and not capitalizing on every second I am given...I am super happy to say that my dad is getting better by the day and continues towards a full recovery. I am so blessed to have the parents and family/friends that I do. My dad will always be my ole man and nothing can ever change that. Just remember... Take advantage of the now... Try to stop thinking about whats happening tomorrow or the shit that happened last week... The moment we are living in is all we ever truly have.
