2 days til your birthday darlin. If I said I didn't miss you, it'd be a lie. I miss you every moment of the day. Back when I was a younger man and you just a baby, I made a promise to love you and keep you safe. Time flows on so quickly and I never know what tomorrow might bring. But the memories from all those yesterdays help me to smile. "Silly Dad" you'd always say and laugh. I'm glad I chose to be your Dad and I hope your day is filled with smiles and laughter and everything you wish for.

There, I purged it all out
Went for a walk in the cool night air
and went over everything again
with Roger singing to me about rabbits and Time.
I made peace with each chapter of the story as best as I could,
feet treading the pavement treadmill.
I tried each case before myself as Judge
and condemned or commended myself for each one.
Maybe now tomorrow will be fresh and new, the adventure I wanted,
without the guilt and shame of yesterday aging it before its' Time.

Ciao
