Here I am, in this bed again.
I don't think I am leaving
this time.
Do I regret anything?
No chance. Every single
choice I made, every single
consequence I endured made
me who I am today.
I can leave this world with a
smile.

My family is by my side. Not
only my wife, but my children
and my guardian angel. He is
alone.
In the corner, it is watching.
The thing a normal man
would fear.
But not me. I stare that
demon in the eyes and
laugh. It is scared
because it failed its master.

I am slowly letting
go.
My adventure is over.
I did what I was supposed to
do, and now, I can now rest my
eyes, forever.
Goodbye beautiful world,
you have done me well. More angles
are showing up. My time is up.
I start to reminisce about my life.
Yup. No regrets.

Tears of joy start rushing
down my face. My
smile becomes infectious
for everyone in the room,
even the angels, start smiling.
Well, it's time to let go.
I love you all very much.
With the angels calling my name,
my eyes slowly close.

I see a light.
That light, that familiar light.
No that can't be.
Mom? Dad?
Welcome home son.
