[K.I.N.] Be Real

I just got out of class about 30 mins ago and my mother called me.  She informed my that my grandfather was dying and that she was gonna fly down to florida to see him.  Having someone die that you love is horrible especially around the holidays.  But its not so much that my grand father is about to die (because I do love him but quite honestly I did not have the bond with him that I had with my other grandfather nor did I ever see him), it was my mother’s voice on the other line.  She tried so hard to be strong and not tear up but I could hear it in her voice………..Brief History…..

My mother and her family have not really been on the best of terms but she loves her parents and they love her (You know how fam shit can get).  My mother never gets to see her parents like her brother and sister do (who are rich by the way and can afford to see them in florida) an it breaks her heart…..Back to the story…..

She was telling me what my grandfather was going through and the operations they had done to him and all i could think about was how my mother is the strongest women I know.  She didnt want to show her vulneraility even though her father, the man who gave her life is about to pass on.  Honestly, I choked up.  Not cuz Im losing my grandfather, but because I love my mother so much and  I couldnt bare to lose her or anyone I share a close bond with.  Family and love are two things that should never be taken for granted.  Life is so precious and so meaningful that each second of each minute of each day should be cherished.  You have only so much time on this earth and my advice to you is laugh each day.  Don’t take life so serious or you’ll never get out alive (every Nike manager should take that to heart).  There is so much to life And after my mother was done talking I just told her that I love her and I was thankful to have her as my mom.  Tell your parents you love them every day and mean it.  Give ur father a hug, tell ur mom thanks for everything she ever did for you because even when u think shes a bitch, she wiped ur ass and told u she loved u more than you can count.Love life and live it to the fullest because u never know when ur number will be called.

Moral of the Day…….Cherish life and everyone in it that you love and loves you
