Good Night, Sweet Prince...Now His Watch Is Ended
Hello my lovely readers,
It has been many months since I last posted. In fact I will be honest and say, I completely forgot about reading books and writing this blog, for a very long time. Much has happened since I last wrote. While there were many little things that ate up my time, I experienced a big and heartbreaking loss in my life. After a brief but excruciating battle with cancer, I lost my wonderful father two days before Christmas. This has been the most heartbreaking loss I have ever had in my life so far. I always knew I would have to bury my parents someday, I just never planned on it being so soon. My dad was only 65, but cancer has no discrimination when it chooses its targets. It happened over such a short period of time, that I couldn't wrap my head around his sickness, before he was just, gone. Now the wonderful, funny, kind, brilliant man I had the honor and pleasure of calling my Dad, is gone from my life forever. My brain still refuses to accept that he is truly gone. I know that everything happens for a reason and that God has a plan for the long run, but right now I just don't see it. I hate the fact that he's gone, that I had to watch my parents go through this after being together for almost 40 years. I hate seeing my mom look so lost and helpless without the love of her life, and watching her cry at random moments because something sparks a reminder of Dad's loss to her. I hate that I have to move on with my life without having his support, comfort, and guidance. Most of all I just hate the fact that he's gone and I miss him so damn much its hurts. I don't believe that pain will ever really and truly go away. Time doesn't heal all wounds. It just makes them easier to bear.
So this my friends is why I have not read much these past months. I was either too busy or could not find it in me to read. However, I have now begun to read again and therefore I will also start posting again on the blog. It will still be somewhat sporadic as I still get back into the swing of things, but please bear with me. I will leave you with this advice. Go hug your loved ones and tell them how much you love them, for you do not know how long you have left with them. Most of all, make every moment of your life count for you never know which day will be your last. Love and miss you every day Dad.

May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Love,
