Things have changed but some scars remain
In life, we WILL all lose something precious to us one day. Be it a loved one, a nostalgic item, a memory, or even our health. However, I choose not to dwell too much into this sadness. Over time, I realise such losses can be something which gives us strength. Think about it, since everyone will experience loss, why does the world not simply stop and bend over? Life goes on.
It has been a year since Dad's passing. I don't deny that the pain of losing him still exists. However, there are key moments since his departure in which I find myself drawing lessons (both said and unsaid) from him. Like the picture above, Dad made me learn, not by speaking, by being a man of action.
The importance of human life is that we overcome our darkest times, and move forward to become a better person. For myself, I believe that Dad would have never wanted me to dwell in my sorrow of losing him. He would have wanted me to live life to the best I can. And so I will.
I love you Dad!
