And when you die, and die you shall, your transition shall be to the sound of…[claps his hands]...Gladiators, I salute you....[Proximo gives the gladiators a talk of encouragement before they go out for their first fight] Some of you are thinking you won’t fight, some that you can’t. They all say that until they are out there. Listen. [the crowd can be heard stamping their feet, cheering. Proximo draws a sword and starts demonstrating] Thrust this into another man’s flesh and they will applaud and love you for that. You may begin to love them for that. [he slams the blade into the table] Ultimately, we’re all dead men, sadly we cannot choose how, but we can decide how we meet that end in order that we are remembered as men.

Dying Fatherhood

Share

It feels like all these beautiful pieces of life are flying around me and I’m trying to catch them. When my granddaughter falls asleep in my lap, I try to catch the feeling of her breathing against me. And when I make my son laugh, I try to catch the sound of him laughing. How it rolls up from his chest. But the pieces are moving faster now, and I can’t catch them all. I can feel them slipping through my fingertips. And soon where there used to be my granddaughter breathing and my son laughing, there will be… nothing. I know it feels like you have all the time in the world. But you don’t. So, stop playing it so cool. Catch the moments of your life. Catch them while you’re young and quick. Because sooner than you know it, you’ll be old. And slow. And there’ll be no more of them to catch. And when a nice boy who adores you offers you pie, say thank you.
