I am 36. Tomorrow I will be 37. My life is in some ways better than I ever dreamed and in other ways not quite living up to my dreams.

All I know right now is that I miss my dad so very very much. And it is killing me that he’s not here.

I think of him taking me to Great Adventure for my birthday two years ago. We went on one ride because that’s all he could handle… but what a ride we went on, El Toro!

Thirty f-ing seven.
