Sunday, October 12 2014 - 1 PM Edmonton Time. - I was driving to see a property when I received a phone call. That's the phone call that nobody wishes to receive, the type of phone calls that changes your life and your family's life forever.
I've always imagined seeing my children grow up with their grand father, always imagined the joy and privilege they would have to know him and enjoys the unconditional love that he expresses in so many ways. I wanted them to enjoy at least one of his epic trips, to hear his laughters and chuckles. I only imagined how much love they will have for him, and him for them. I never thought life would steal him from me, my current and future family.
I've lost my idol, the person that has always made me proud now matter what, the person who taught me that nothing is impossible, gave me my meaningful name, and made me acquire the qualities I have. He was one of the very few honest and strong men. His life was epic and always full, and even though it was far from being perfect, he always smiled and made sure everyone else around him is happy and safe.
His biological heart was too weak to carry the greatness, strength and courage that he had in him. I doubt that any human heart would be able to carry what my father has carried and endured during his 68 years on this planet.
38 days have passed and the pain won't go away. I'm struggling with my overwhelming emotions and it feels like my heart was ripped apart but as time goes by, I'm more aggressive to life at the same time, I want to revolt to having a normal life, take risks, change things, and leave a mark if one day I had to leave this planet as well.
I will be thinking about you dad, every day, for the rest of my life...
