After hours of eating cake, we are finally going to sleep. I feel really tired so I called Blue, telling her that I'll head to sleep.

As I get upstairs, I grab my laptop turning it on. Once it's on, I click on the document.
And I put in the words: My life.

I can't wait to see, it! No wait, see it again.

I close the laptop again, then jump on my bed shutting my eyes afterwards.

💙💙💙

I'm back to when I was younger, we still lived in our old house. I run towards the slide in the backyard, seeing the younger me playing baseball with dad.

"Dad! Over here!" The younger Kian, runs around the yard, holding a baseball mitt in his hand. I must be around seven, during these days.

"Goal! Good job son, I'm proud of you!" Dad engulfs the little me in his arms.

"Dad! I better tell mom about my goal! Be right back!" The little me run towards the front door. Leaving dad alone.

I reveal myself from behind the slides. Dad turns to me and he looks surprised.

"Kian, you've grown son." He hugs me, and I hug back.

I miss him so much,

If there was only a way to bring him back....

"So dad, how have you been?" I ask him. I observe his features closely, he doesn't have white hair yet, he's so young here.

"I'm good son, you?" He asks, patting my back.

"I miss you so much dad, you won't understand how much I miss you" I sour look appears his face, he nods and hugs me.

"It's life son, Now I guess you've read the letter?" I nod in response.

"Kian, Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay your whole life?" His words show so much meaning, maybe that's why he left. Then I remember the end of his letter, he said that the best last moments of his life were the best because of mom.

I don't notice but tears uncontrollably trickle down my cheeks, dad engulfs me in a hug.

He whispers "Now that you know about your ability, never go back to the past to change something wrong, or it'll bring bigger regret in your life" I nod, hugging him tighter.

I just wish this moment will never end.
