“Let me sleep, for my soul is intoxicated with love and
Let me rest, for my spirit has had its bounty of days and nights…”
Khalil Gibran
At my father's recent one year memorial, I was so busy with the actual evening, the logistics and the family and friends, I didn't give myself much of a chance to remember him. And then tonight it all snuck up on me. Its funny how the tears find you on a throw away Wednesday just before midnight. It all just crystalizes and u know that you loved someone, that you'll always miss them. Tonight I wished I could have been sitting out by the pool sharing a smoke with my dad... Its on perfect summer days and nights like this that I miss him most; when everything seems right with the world and my future so bright, because at the end of the day, he's around. Im safe. Someone has got my back.
I Guess at the end of the day when u look at your life and everything that's happened to you, you kinda realise that the whole point, the very reason for your very existence is to love and share this life with those you love. As the emotions bathed over me I reached that beautiful moment as a tear runs down one's face and dries there without one wiping it. A single tear that means so much, is created from so so much and carries so much weight. I let go after that.
As his music played I was transported to moments with him sharing a joint as we talked over life and love and everything in between....
