Dad's Last Day

Sat, 05 May 2012 12:17:00 -0700

I’m working on writing a commencement speech for a community college back east, and in looking for inspiration I went back to some old blog posts. Here’s one that I wrote about my Dad’s last day a couple years ago. With some of the recent deaths this week, take a moment and reach out to a loved one, and let them know that they are.

No stress awakening,

Still relaxed from the previous evening’s celebration

Shirtless in shorts, I shake off the cobwebs

Pace across the catwalk over to your room.

Today’s the day you leave again for Tijuana.

That clinic’s giving us our last clinging hope.

Time’s ticking

I’m praying with a heightened faith I’ve never really experienced before.

This is the visit, This is the one, This is the turning point

You’ll be reinvigorated, You’ll be brought back to the work still left unfinished.

You take my arm, I take you downstairs,

Assisted step by step til we get you in the Backyard.

You remind me of the vitamins of the sun,

Your simple pure gratitude can’t be more powerful

And more different than the language your frail body speaks.

We watch football, and you come in and out,

But in it enough to hi five a score for the underdog.

I encourage you to just get a couple bites down,

Spoonfuls of lettuce wrap filling,

With a kiss for Ate and I, Mom’s watching on, sun peering in at her back

Mundane to the untrained eye

But profound to mine, seared onto my mind’s eye

Cause today, there would be no Mexico,

Just a realization…

If your spirit proves to be far greater than that of your physical

Is it fair to still keep you here when you have higher work?

So we say our goodbyes,

20 of us gathered in the living room now

Your vision blacked out, your consciousness sporadic,

But your triumph is near.

You rise on your own, lifted by some grace

You gaze panoramically at your family assembled,

And breathe in its essence, refreshing you to a peaceful resignation.

We call the ambulance

For maybe we just might be able to hold on for awhile longer.

I trail the ambulance,

my mind failing to grasp the stark reality.

Into the emergency they say it’s only low sugar,

But I see a different story,

It’s begun.

Code Blue, Code Blue, Code Blue.

The eternity encased within those minutes

Exponentially more excruciating,

Then any moment that’s ever hung within my balance

But it came: “Who want’s to call it?”

Then silence and worry, turned to static, the onset

A rush of emotion with no equal I have ever met,

Emergency room wailing, ripped from the movies.

But time has passed now

Hindsight viewed clearly through the rearview, your higher purpose now being met.

Just know that every lesson you’ve pounded and reiterated

Is engrained, and I carry it with the greatest honor.

My life forever forged on the path for this certain greatness you believed possible for myself, I will

carry it on just like you said, Dad, I will carry on your dream to inspire.

Love you, and I’ll see you soon enough.

The Donuts Present: Jelly-Filled Fridays!

The FIRST FRIDAY of every month at Proof Bar, The Donuts will host a unique blend of art in it’s various forms. Our hope is that this night will not only inspire those looking to pursue a creative craft, but also reinvigorate the exhibiting artists to keep doing what they so beautifully do. We also aim to bring together friends, old and new, to have a place to gather and re-connect. A little positivity goes a long way; come get your re-up once a month!

9pm-2am ($3 wells from 9-10p)
Basement Series (9-11p) “Photography with Friends” hosted by 12FV

In an effort to reunite & rekindle the connections within our community, we invite you to join us this Friday for Art, Dancing, and Good Vibes!!

Alex and I have been very blessed to have reached this point in our DJ career. We are very thankful for all of the support from our friends, new and old, in our music endeavors. We are now embarking on a new journey, to use our resources and connections to give our community a place to gather, celebrate creativity, and inspire positivity. The Donuts is a collection of people who aim to put on events that highlight the amazing and talented people around us. Whether they are close friends from the past, or new people who hope to meet along the way, we are striving to bring that “neighborhood block party” feel to the art and music community. Whether its DJs, musicians, artists, photographers, video producers, dancers, comedians, or any other form of artistic expression, we hope to bring it all together into one monthly event that people can look forward to. We know staying in touch with friends is hard, so our goal is to have that opportunity to bring everyone together to enjoy good music, good vibes, and good company :)

Our first event is THIS FRIDAY at Proof Bar in Santa Ana. We will be having a photo exhibit as part of our Basement Series, along with our good friends DJ Redak and DJ Legit joining us on stage. Its FREE for everyone, so come by and hang out with some dope people!
