A New Year Begins

by
It's almost been a year since the passing of my father due to cancer. It was a year ago this day since my family and I embraced each other at the hospital saying "we made it". And here it is, another year has past and life moves on. We made it another year, and I look to the horizon in fear of what's to come.

To all those that read this I have a request. I'd like for you to go to a loved one. Family member, best friend, significant other, and let them know how much they mean to you. Even if it's over the phone or messenger, it's those little things that we take for granted, and are most missed when they are gone...I know from experience.

And to those that I know: I don't say this often but I genuinely appreciate you being around in my life, I don't know where I'd be without you, or if I'd even have the strength to keep moving forward without you. I still find it baffling how anyone can put up with me to begin with, I hope one day I will be able to repay the favor in full.

In short,
Happy new year, everyone. Here's to the next.

My father also passed away, after a long battle with Parkinson's, just over a year ago (October 6, the same day my daughter was married).  

You have my sympathies. It's never an easy time.

The family, especially my brothers' and my kids, have never been closer.

Yeah one thing that came out of this entire ordeal is that my brother, mother and I have become closer because of it, I'm grateful for that at least.

Yes, there's that.

My niece was married over the Christmas break to her long-time guy (nearly six years), and she reduced the entire family to tears by having photos of both her Grandfathers (My Dad and her mother's father who died more than a decade ago) to represent them "in attendance", as it were.

Little things, man. Little things. :'(
