Grief & Change

I lost my dad earlier this year and it has changed how I look at just about everything. How I look at other people, my life, my goals, and the ones I love. I look back fondly at the many memories we shared but there are also so many filled with regret. A missed opportunity to take a picture together, to talk on the phone, or to sit and watch his favorite television show. I miss him so much and can barely hold it together when I think about all the things he’s going to miss. Seeing me or my siblings get married or have kids. He would have been a great granddad.

Now, when it comes to my life. The things that use to bother me just don’t anymore. I don’t care what other people think or the unrealistic standards set by our society Life is short. It’s not guaranteed and I will not live with anymore regrets.
