Heya Dad,
We'd be celebrating your 71st Birthday today if you were still around - as it is, I'll make an ancestor offering tonight. I miss you terribly, but I think you'll be glad to know that I finally got to a point where I was too busy to ponder your birthday for the whole day. I remember you always talking to me about my priorities. Heck, you tried to teach me a thing or two about priorities. I think I was too stubborn to learn those lessons from you. Ah well. Now that my life is busy enough to where I have to put them in practice, I find myself looking back on things you said and agreeing. But some lessons can't be taught. They just need to be adopted when they are needed. Thank you, Dad. You continue teaching me lessons I need, even 17 years after your death. I love you very much!
