Happy Birthday, Dad!

This was taken at my Brother’s wedding, years ago.

Sometimes, you get reminded of people you care about,
and ponder on all the things you experienced together.

Remembering my Dad on his birthday,
made me reminisce about a whole bunch of things.

The long talks during a long car drive.
The Father – Son arguments we had.
The music he introduced me to.
The jokes and pranks that he always do.
The courage I gather whenever I borrow the car.
The courage I gather when I am late returning the car.
Him catching me climbing our gates to sneak inside the house at night.
Him offering me my first beer.
Him thinking he gave me my first beer.
Him telling me his side of the story.
And me eagerly listening.

Happy Birthday, Dad!
I miss talking to you.
