Meaning
This reads as a loving memorial that mixes regret with admiration. It points to a life that was intense and fully lived, even if it came with self inflicted strain, and it asks the listener to hold both truths at once. The line lands in a family remembrance, where grief is softened by gratitude for the way he lived rather than only the length of time.
