1. A Live Letter

Pain is a constant companion and isn't a very good one. I try to reason with it, and I end up feeling miserable. I cannot help but think about you. You, who has so much to give and share with me.

Even when I was young, you were a constant figure. You were there to see me grow up. I cried, I laughed, I learned, and you were there to guide me. With you gray hair and chunky glasses, I would watch you think and brood, and your sudden smile would light up your face as quickly as it came.

I think about the times I missed being with you. So many years have passed since I saw you again, and for a brief moment, I imagined you not being in my life. I wanted to cry. But I knew you would be there, as you always were. The gray hair has turned to white, and with that came a wiry frame that was fragile. Still the eyes were as vibrant as ever, and a mind that was well-running.
