After going to the funeral I came home, ate dumplings, and cried. I thought to myself, “Justin can’t eat dumplings anymore.” I didn’t even have to dip it in soy sauce to taste salt. It was hard to breath and chew at the same time. My nose was clogged.
Life is too precious. Now I know why my mom cares so much for my heath and safety. The thought of attending your own child’s funeral, dang it, no parent should ever go through that.
I held her close today. My excuse was the cold. But my heart was torn when I thought of how Justin’s mom would give anything in the world just to be able to give him one last hug and say goodbye.
Our biggest regrets in life are always over the things we never got around to do.
I hate death, it literally kills.
