                           HEY BOY!
          
That's what you would always say

Eyes coming open attempting to scare me.

That was when I was six, why now at eighteen do I stare at you?

I hope for the same response from my childhood

Instead, I stare at an empty shell, not my father

and weep

Go and check it out.

I never cried when my Dad passed away.
That is until I actually saw him. I guess that was the proof I needed to show me my greatest hero, a man invincible, could have succumbed to a silly notion called death at the young age of 47........

The relativly quick transition from 'HEY BOY!' to 'and weep..' shows more than anything the abruptness... wow.

Nicely done. It conveys the emotion well, and speaks for itself.

Ignorance isn't bliss, it is the inability to distinguish the truth;
the unwillingness to change
And the dislike of something different.
