You would have been 57 today. You would have scoffed at the number. You never planned on old age. You would tell us “Live fast. Die young. Leave a good-looking corpse.” For an intelligent man, you were an idiot sometimes. I get that from you. A goofiness people never expect because we’re well-spoken. A penchant for poor life choices because we follow our hearts. My compassion. My work ethic. My love of true crime, and history, and chocolate. I am more your daughter than I realize at times. I spent so much of my life determined to be your opposite, I never could have imagined a day where I’d treasure our similarities. But here I am, celebrating another one of your birthdays without you here, grateful for the ways that your essence still manifests. I miss you every day…flaws and all. Happy Birthday. 🖤
