The passing

I don't normally like to talk about things like this but after reading Mr. Repay's latest blog, I decided to go ahead. This past Saturday was my grandfathers funeral and I had to give the eulogy. Even though I did not spend a lot of time visiting him in the last few years (he lived in BC) it was still tough to get through. Family is a very big part of who I am and the loss of my last granparent was not an easy thing. The fact that it was my last connection to my dad who passed away almost 3 years to the day of my grandfather was especially difficult. The one thing that has helped is being able to go to the Kwoon and to continue to train. It brings a sense of peace to me where I can forget about outside troubles and just live in the moment.
