Life lately. It’s about to be my 41st birthday on monday and I tend to skip posting about it so we’re doing it today.
This year has been a wild ride. I’ve never loved what I do more and been more grateful for the people in my life.
This year has also been marked by the deepest forms of grief I have ever felt in my life, and I faced it. I felt it. I melted into a puddle on the floor with it but never questioned that I’d find shape again. This year I learned to trust myself.
I had the grand pleasure of taking care of my father a month before his passing and it was an honor of a lifetime to help him dissolve peacefully. This will be the first birthday I won’t get his call saying “we were so happy the day you came to live with us” and that feels like a hole in my heart that will never quite be filled the same.
He was a joyful and humble man in his heart of hearts and I’m so grateful I got to see his essence.
Love you Pops. Thank you for showing me how to show love unapologetically. Thank you for the love of music and never shying from telling me how proud you are. Thank you for listening to the same songs over and over so much that I can call on you just with a song.
Love you Daddy. And happy birthday to me (on Monday)❤️
