I'm 100 percent independent and it's really gratifying...
"When my father died a few years ago, I felt completely helpless. I had no control over it. I couldn't do anything aside from watching him going away, you know? It was so tough. Just a few weeks after he passed, I graduated and started my professional life. Not too long after that, I had my first kid. Those couple of years after his death were a big turning point for me. That's when I really became an adult. Before, I felt like everything I was doing was to make my parents proud of me. My dad was, like, the figure of authority and he's the one I wanted to be proud of me the most. But it's not like that anymore. It wasn't some kind of epiphany or anything. It was just a settling with the idea that I now do everything just for myself and my wife and kids. I'm 100 percent independent and it's really gratifying."
That's why we're here :)
It's inspiring to see others make the best of such tragic circumstances.
I, too, lost a parent a few years back. The heartbreak is indescribable. I believe this is the true meaning of bitter-sweetness. Their death freed me from the trivialities of life, and yet they will never be around to experience the fruits of my labour.
I hope you're doing well. I don't have children so my main source of meaning is from my two brothers and my business. Good luck to you and yours!
Thank you for the kind words.
Good luck to you too!
