“This is life — enjoy, entertain, be excited.”

My father used to say, “I came into this world because my parents got excited.”

And in the same poetic rhythm, he chose to leave on December 31st —

ending a year, beginning another, reminding us that death too is a new birth somewhere else.

He always said, “Entropy and enthalpy — both chemistry terms — define life.”

Because life is the constant dance between order and chaos,

between energy absorbed and energy released,

between creation and dissolution — and that’s what makes existence so beautifully human.
