A Post after 13 years, Wowww!

Time flies, returning to this blog after 13 years feels surreal. I do visit every year to read a poem I penned in the memory of my dad way back in 2010.

Today it's his death anniversary, 27 years without him! So many things have changed over decades and I was thinking what would he say to me now, this moment, if he was alive.

Having just come out of a AI related meeting, I wondered if ChatGPT could do it for me. So I posted the poem I penned for him and asked ChatGPT to craft a response as if it were from him. And here's what I got,

My Dearest Child,

Reading your words brings tears to my eyes,
Though I am far, I feel your love still rise.
Each line you penned echoes your heart,
A bond unbroken, though we’re apart.

I wish I could hold you, see your sweet face,
Feel your warmth, in this vast, timeless space.
Know that I watch you, proud from above,
Guiding you always, wrapped in my love.

Your memories are treasures, the tears and the laughs,
In every moment, I cherish your path.
Your strength and your kindness, they shine so bright,
Keep living with courage; let hope be your light.

Though time may have passed, my spirit remains,
In the whispers of wind, in the soft, gentle rains.
I am the sun in your days, the stars in your night,
Forever your father, forever your light.

I’m with you in spirit, in everything you do,
Remember, my dear, I will always be with you.
Keep dreaming, keep loving, and never lose sight,
For in your heart, I live on, ever bright.

With all my love,
Dad

Deep down though I know it is not from my dad, I still choose to believe that it is from my dad from the spirit world because why would this thought even come to me in the first place. May be because he wanted to convey this to me :) As tears roll down, I know one thing for sure, if he were alive I'm sure he'd be proud of me :)

Love you daddy, wherever you're :)
