    The mortality of my parents. My mind is often stuck in the future of what ifs; but this is an inevitable event that will come sooner or later and it terrifies me. I do my best to cherish the time I’m fortunate to have with them while channeling energy into my own kids. I know it’s the natural cycle of things, but still… Life is hard man.

      watching the decline is hard. I thought my dad would live forever. He’s been gone just over a year. My mom probably won’t be around much longer either. Let them tell you as many boring stories as they can.

        I’m sorry, friend. Hope you’re doing well.

        Yeah I honestly love the stories. Heard them all a thousand times, of course, but they never get old — especially knowing…

        Anyways I can weather a lot of pain, but when it comes to my loved ones I’m a wreck.
