It has been a while since I posted anything on here. My apologies. I just feel right now, there is a lot I need to get off my chest. Something that has been lurking around recently is the fact that my pops has lung cancer. It has been pretty tough, but nobody would know that just from talking to me to seeing me in public. Not a lot of people outside of family know he has it, and it will probably stay that way even when he is better. I’m not the type of person that expresses my “feelings”. I don’t care for people being sympathetic towards me because I don’t want people feeling “sorry”. Over the course of these past few months, I just couldn’t help but be inspired by my pops “I’m going to beat the shit out of it” attitude. Seeing my dad go through this, made me think of one quote. “There are two important days in your life. The day you were born and the day you find out why.” I still have yet to determine the why, but if I can do what my dad has done and impact so many people’s lives in a good way as much as he has, then I will die a happy man. I’ve learned that life has so many curveballs and throws so much shit at you, but I still believe that everything happens for a reason. This shit is happening to him and us for a reason, and even though it may not be apparent now, something positive will come out of this. Hell, it definitely brought our family a hell of a lot closer.
The main thing about life is to always maintain a positive outlook on everything. Sometimes shit will be rough and hard, but that is where we define ourselves as human beings. We can choose to use these obstacles as building blocks or stumbling stones. Whichever route we choose will ultimately determine the course of our future.
More to come…
