Standing back as I surveyed the funeral about to take place, I realised life was too short. Even if you were immortal, there weren't enough days to be with the ones you loved. Isaac and his family knew the day would come when they lost their second father to them. They just didn't know how soon it would happen. The way Gregory had been taken away from them was brutal, unfair. So really, we had to appreciate each day. I knew I should, even when it was hard, live and love the best I could, because there were dangers in the world no one could stop, no matter how much people tried. There were moments where accidents happened or even illnesses took away a life. Any day. Any moment.
Regardless of it all, the pain and hurt, what Gregory taught me the most was that through those times, it was good to have your family close.
I had mine.
And there was nothing that would separate us again.
