5 years

You never know how someone will affect you in life. Last Friday marked the five year anniversary of the loss of someone very special to me. Someone who not only helped me buy took care of me. Someone who was more of a father to me than my own actual dad. My step-dad Arthur Kyliavas.

There were so many times when he couldve turned around and just left me and my mom, but he didnt. To be honest, in the begining I gave him plenty of reasons for him to leave but he didnt. It isn't fair that he was taken so soon. Not just from me but from his daughter my sister and his wife.

In all honesty in the begining of our relationship we hated each other. I could not stand that man, and believe me I went out of my way to let him no it. Its probably the biggest regret I have, not getting to know him sooner. It wasnt until his later years in life when we really bonded and he would actually call me son. He is the only person who has refered to me as son. He was so proud when I started JROTC I wish he wouldve been there to see me graduate.

There have been so many moments when I could really have used your advice, and there are so many things that I wish I could say to you, but now I cant. I really hope you are proud of me dad I really do. I dont know what you think of me being catholic. I remember you once told me that I would never be able to do it because there are so many rules, but hey look at me now and I am even considering becoming a priest. I hope you enjoy the rose I got you I know they were your favorite. It was all I could give you right now.

We all miss you Dad I hope you have finally found peace in the arms of Christ, and if you dont mind put in a good word for me.


Pie Jesu, qui tollis peccata mundi
Anima ejus,
 et ánimæ ómnium fidélium defunctórum,
per misericórdiam Dei requiéscant in pace sempiternam
Amen.
