I had a small talk with a group of individuals last week and one of them lost his father last year. He expressed his feelings and thoughts about the death of his father and how it changed his life. He has new priorities right now and he is recovering from that event already.

I was quiet while he’s sharing his story. We were both the eldest in the family and it seems like we are both looking for ways on how to improve for the future. I had the same sentiments three years ago and though not most of them noticed it, I had tears on my eyes.
