A little bit late...
...but I feel I should post about it anyways b/c it's kinda a little cool.
Madre informed me today was my dad's birthday...I already sorta 'knew' it was his birthday...at least, I remember her telling me in the past. But it wasn't like it was anything significant or anything. Didn't feel it was something I had to remember...
But today, Madre brought it up as they were discussing the anniversary of the moon landing. He turned 18 the day they landed on the moon. That is pretty sweet...talk about a pretty awesome 18th birthday memory.
He would've been 58 today (or well...yesterday technically, since it's now after midnight). Would've been. Still can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that it all has to be past tense now.
It makes me sad to think about. And then I feel bad for feeling sad/crying a little because it's not like he was the greatest father ever or had been been around much in the past several years.
But he was my daddy. Never did anything so bad as to NOT be my daddy. So I can't help but get a little sad.
Well...just something interesting I figured I share. ;)
