I wanna say Happy 50th birthday to you dad. I
LOVE you and life has not been the same without you, but I know that you would
be proud of where I am today. You were my influence and drive and ambition in
life. I learned from the mistakes you made and I have grown into a man that I
can look into the mirror and be proud of, and I know you would be too. You are
missed. The family back east could not stop telling me how much I look like you
and remind them of you. I like that. Your missing out on a lot down here, but I
know that you are up there smiling down and watching over us. I love you dad
and miss you everyday.
It is the bad in life that allows people to see
the good. In the wise words of 50 cent,
"Some days
wouldn't be special, if it wasn't for rain. Joy wouldn't feel so good, if
it wasn't for pain.
Death gotta be easy, 'cause life is hard."
He hit it spot on though. It is the hard times and the
struggles that make the joys and happiness of life so amazing. If it was not
for hard work and struggle, accomplishments would be nothing and would not feel
so great. Growing up through some hard times and adversity, I learned to
embrace the bad just as much as the good. I am able to smile and love with my
entire heart because of what I have been through. I am able to see things in
all of their beauty because of all of the ugly I have seen.
"The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears and the
kindest hearts have felt the most pain"
I love this quote and it holds so much truth. This is not
always necessarily true, because some people who have cried a lot and have felt
a lot of pain are not always pleasant, but for me this holds true. I love life
and possibilities of life because of how bad I have seen life. I am confident
that the worst and most traumatic parts of life that I will have to experience are
all behind me. And due to the severity of those experiences, I am able, and
will be able to handle and take on anything else that life can throw at me.
Life is what you make it. You don’t get to choose it. But you
get to choose what you do with it. Make the most of what you got and love what
you got. There are a lot of people out there in worse situations that would
love to be in your shoes.
