I like Paul Walker a lot. Not only is he handsome and talented, but he also has a kind heart. He founded a charity organization in 2010 to help survivors of natural disasters. This is the kind of person that deserves to be wealthy. This is the kind of person that deserves to live a long and happy life. Sadly, he passed away in a car accident in 2013 at the young age of 40.
I often feel a stone in my heart when I watch the ending scene at 3:16 mins where Paul Walker and Vin Diezel look at each other for the last time before driving off into the sunset onto separate roads.
It’s kind of a sad irony that Paul Walker died while enjoying what he loved the most ~ riding in a fast car, but was tragically burned to death. RIP Paul Walker…
This song, and the splitting of the roads reminds me of my family. How I was basically separated from them ever since my dad got transferred back to Taiwan, when I was still in dental school in South Africa.
I went back to visit them for a month each year until I got married 14 years ago. My ex-husband and I started to visit them again a few years ago; also for a month each year, until the company he worked for went under in 2019. I was going to go visit them on my own in 2020 but then Covid struck, and it’s still bad in Taiwan, and many other countries in Asia right now. I’d still have to stay in a quarantine hotel first if I were to go and visit them now.
I’m planning on visiting them sometime next year. Hopefully, Covid will be stabilized over there by then. I miss my family and I miss my sister very much. I want to start planning it so that I can go and see her at her psychiatric institution when I go back to Taiwan and visit them.
The split in the road in the video reminds me of my sister and I. When we were back in high school, we both agreed that we will both become dentists and open a clinic together, then buy a mansion in Hawaii for all of us to live together.
She did get accepted into dental school, and I even finished dental school, but look where we are now? She’s in a psychiatric institution, and I’m still trying to figure out what to do with my life after my divorce.
We are no longer together. We are so far apart. Not just by distance, but by communication as well. My sister used to tell me that she gets worried that we’ll become distant because she’s in Taiwan and I’m in the US. However, every time I come back to see them, I just click with her immediately as if we were never apart. She feels so happy that we’re still so close with each other.
Now I feel worried if we’ll still be the same when we meet. I can’t call her at her institution and she can only call my parents in Taiwan. I’ve sent presents and greeting cards to her each year but we haven’t spoken for years now.
When I was putting together the care package for my family this year, I asked my ex-husband to still write the greeting cards for my parents and my sister as if he was still their son-in-law and her brother-in-law. I told my ex-husband that my dad has memory loss and there’s no point in telling him that we are getting divorced, since he’ll forget about it right afterwards. I also don’t want my sister to get worried about us so I told mom not to tell my sister as well. The only person in my family who knows that I’m getting divorced is my mom. She’s been my rock and my sounding board throughout this entire time. I don’t know what I would have done without her.
Will my sister and I still be able to click instantly again just like the good old times? I miss you so much my dear Pooky baby. I can’t wait to see you again… 💕
See You Again
~ Charlie Puth / Dj Frank E
It’s been a long day without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
We’ve come a long way from where we began
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew, good things we been through
That I’d be standing right here talking to you
‘Bout another path, I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn’t last
Had to switch up, look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days, hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place)
Uh
How can we not talk about family when family’s all that we got?
Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side
And now you gon’ be with me for the last ride
It’s been a long day without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again (I’ll see you again)
We’ve come a long way (yeah, we came a long way)
From where we began (you know we started)
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again (I’ll tell you)
When I see you again
First, you both go out your way and the vibe is feeling strong
And what’s small turned to a friendship, a friendship turned to a bond
And that bond will never be broken, the love will never get lost
(The love will never get lost)
And when brotherhood come first, then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own when that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reached, so remember me when I’m gone
(Remember me when I’m gone)
How can we not talk about family when family’s all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon’ be with me for the last ride
So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home, home
It’s been a long day without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
We’ve come a long way from where we began
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
When I see you again (yeah, uh)
See you again (yeah, yeah, yeah)
When I see you again
