My father passed away two years tomorrow and it is a reminder to live life because it is coming to an end.
I always thought that my dad would live to be like 95 years old, but that wasn’t the case as he died when he was 73.
It doesn’t seem real when I speak these words, or write these words, but he is gone and I have to come to terms with that. One of the most difficult things is every time I go to turn on or adjust my smart thermostat, I think of my father, because he was an HVAC salesman and specialized in selling smart thermostats. One day it will sink in that he is actually gone, but for now it just feels like a foggy dream and at any moment he could call me and say “hey Davo how are you doing”! I think in honor of my dad today I will go to the HVAC company and buy a new HEPA filter, because Dad was always telling me to use a HEPA filter, instead of the cheap ones that I use all the time to try to save a little bit of money. That probably ends up harming my health though, because of all the things that I’m breathing in every day on a regular basis, so I will go buy the HEPA filter to make my dad proud. If your dad is still alive, do me a favor and give him a call and tell him how great he is and how much you love him. You can tell him that I told you to say it if you’re too afraid to say it.
