Fireworks

When I was young, I created an indexical relationship with my father. Our relationship was different from any other relationships. There was some connection between us. We could understand each other no matter what the circumstances.

However, when i started transitioning into my teenage years, things started to change. Our "indexical" relationship started slowly deteriorating. Both of us knew that something was wrong, but we both failed to fix things. We constantly argued and barely had time for each other. Months flew past, and our tensions increased.

My mother, who was stuck in the middle of all this conflict, decided to take us on a family trip. She made me sit next to my dad. We remained silent until we got to our destination: Las Vegas. At the time, it was approaching 4th of July so there were many firework shows at night. From our hotel, we could see a spectacular show. ( My dad and I both loved, and still love, fireworks.) I decided to sneak out of the hotel room and went upstairs to watch some fireworks. I was alone for a while when i heard something creep up behind me. It was my dad. He came to see the show too. We silently watched the show for an hour, when suddenly my dad my dad put his arm around me. And he said the words that i will never forget, he said something that will be engraved into my heart forever. He said to me, "son, you know I love you right." And suddenly, I started to feel that indexical connection again. That deteriorating bond started to reverse itself. It was like all my emotions did not even matter anymore. My happiness consumed me, and I let it consume me.

I guess a bond can never be broken. A relationship, no matter what kind, can never be fully destroyed. Love is like a fireworks show. A spark goes up, and it make die down, but another spark goes up right after. The show never stops.
