It's a fact of life.
If we continue to live, the day will come when we lose someone very near and dear to us. I've experienced the feeling for the first time in my life. I now know what's it like to lose that person. I lost my father on 3 November 2015, a date in time that I'll never forget.
I've always wanted to be like him. I told him that. He blushed and smiled. I believe he would say that I'm doing a pretty good job at it; Lovingkindness. Calm, cool, and collectiveness. Giving. Dapper.
He was a great man. If he had the ability to speak to me in his last days, he would have told me to keep doing what I'm doing and live my life. That's surely the same message I'll leave with those I love and those who know and love me when God takes my last breath.
I'm doing OK, all things considered. Human, I am, but not much of an emotional man. I believe it's true. Character, quality, personality is in our DNA and can be passed along or even inherited, so to speak. The movie, Lucy, taught me a thing or three about life.
In a previous blog I spoke of not going too long in between blogs. As I have a knack for promoting the good and positive things in life, here are 3 articles you are sure to find worthwhile and even learn something:

In the meantime, stay focused, be determined, and be well. I'll continue to do the same as I positively strive to climb the ladder of success, be the best me, and live the most valuable life at the highest level that I possibly can.
I know my father is in heaven watching and wouldn't expect anything less of me. He taught me well.
