A Life That Matters

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth...

I love my dad so much.
But he isn't here for me to tell him that.

I want to make him proud of me.
But a dead person can't see from the grave.

He always dreamed of having them. Now he can't play...

I never imagined that death could be a beautiful experience.

My dad called and told me that he was not feeling well. He was already embarrassed to go out because his skin turned yellow, he vomited after every meal, he lost...

He smoked since he was 13 or something like that I heard my mom say. He's always smoked. He smoked in the house when we were all infants, of course back then they weren't aware of second hand smoke. He was a wonderful man as I remember...

When I was 15 years old, my father, my best friend on this planet, was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was the hardest thing to accept and still is. It only took 8 short months for the cancer to take him away forever. I feel so angry...

The pain I heard,
The pain he felt,
The pain that took,
Him away from us......

The wings that he wore,
To fly high up in the heavens,
The wind that passed,
The wind took,
His last breath from us.......

Oh my heart aches,
It burns,
As...
