time flies
Yo future, time really flies. Here's a tip: cherish your folks when you're around. Always appreciate the moment because I've been taking it for granted. "Hey Google, play some sad music."

There were no dogs racing my car, only a trail of my own dust. The stretching fields once scattered with horses are now empty. Neighbors who use to wave from the porch - gone. Haven't seen Mr. H walk his dog anymore either.
Even the trees are different - some gone, some that just came out of no where (when did those even get there?). That basketball goal is still there. Damn... the memories I built here... who knew that one day it would be the last time we all hooped together. Who knew it would be the last time we threw the football together or ran in that yard.
Walked in. Lights aren't even on but that wasn't too uncommon. It was the stillness... this house use to be bustling. Talking, yelling, laughing. People everywhere and not quiet place to be found.
It was empty.
Ma was gone. Both the bros had moved away. Lil sis was never home or with her own business.
Pops was reading in his old chair by himself. Loneliness. He was beaming to see me arrive. Showing me all the food he prepped.
For just me? I had already eaten.
But thanks pops i eat anyway.
We walked around the yard like old times. Showed off all his new plants and yard projects - like old times...but it wasn't ...
He looked tired. He looked old. He is old. Damn it, where did all the years go...?FJEBWKQB RI4BWJW WHY
why ... I'm a fnkidjrbw idiot. Even called today to mention he was making food...normally never calls (doesnt even believe in phones) and then always finding reasons to invite older bro back too.
now i see
Who knows where I'll get sent off to in the coming years. I can't waste this time I have to do better
