Today is my dad’s 60th birthday. A few years ago my mom and I talked
about throwing him a big party. We were going to go all out for it. It
isn’t every day your dad turns 60 after all right? I sure do miss him.
I have been thinking about mom and dad a lot this week. I don’t mind my
life right now, but I sure as hell didn’t think I would be “here” at 30. I have grown a lot over the last year and it has been a challenge but I think I am a better person for the struggles. It sounds like a crock of shit when people tell you that hard times make you stronger and you come out better for having lived
through it — but I guess it is true.
I know one thing is certain, it puts everything into perspective. You
lose all interest in the petty bullshit of day to day life and start to
weed out the people that bring nothing but grief and negativity to the
table. I just don’t have time or the interest to deal with that silly
shit anymore. Life is far to short.
