Sunday at 8am in the morning my phone rang and my whole being shattered into tiny glass pieces, piercing deep into my soul. The time abruptly stopped, the air went eerily still and an incredulous pain engulfed my heart. My Father died. He is no more.

The stars have aligned that night and His soul has been guided to the afterlife.. We will meet again…
