the best present i've ever wished for on someone else's birthday...
today is my dad's birthday.
three months and sixteen days ago, i didn't think he'd be here to celebrate.
and between all the crazy dreams, depression, and anxiety, i didn't think i'd be very present even if he was.
BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW GOOD IT WAS TO SIT WITH MY HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER, FINGERS ALL WRAPPED-UP IN HIS LOVING HANDS AND CRY A GOOD CRY IN THE BLANKET OF MOVIE THEATER DARKNESS BECAUSE I'M SIMPLY GRATEFUL THAT HE'S HERE.
yeah, things will always be different now and there are new challenges and difficult moments-- but to just be able to sit with him was an amazing present to me.
this experience has forced me--has propelled me--into growth. a growth greater than i ever could have imagined.
i've learned more about life, loss, myself, and other.
more about love.
and the invisible threads that tie us all together.
something magical is at work here and there are just some days that you realize how blessed you truly are.
