Well, it's the 14th. Tomorrow I'm going to be 20 years old, and a week from now I will remember my dad for it will be the 13th year I've lived without his presence in my life.

I'm not perfect, but I can only hope that for the most part he'd be proud of who I am today.

In the beginning of the semester in COM, each student was asked to present a song to that represents who they are. I immediately thought of "Dance with my father," but the moment I played it in my room to gather some specific lyrics, I cried. I do every time I hear it, it's a lovely song but when it comes on the radio I have to change it. Yeah, so I knew this was not going to happen especially in front of everyone in class.

"If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him ...
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
"

Beside the fact that he died, timing just couldn't be better. I can't get over it. It wasn't even a week after my birthday and the promised make up birthday party that never happened. I get the feeling that for the rest of my life, I'll always have unanswered questions about that very day.

Happy early birthday (I don't know if I may be in time to wish you tomorrow itself). Tomorrow we'll be the same age lol yay.

I'm sorry about your father not being in your life at such a young age and so soon after your birthday. Not sure if it's my place to say it but I think you're a wonderful person who has done some great things (you did fantastic in school and got into a good uni.. that's all you need for now). I'm sure he'd definitely be very proud of you.

oh God Alex loves that song too, he thinks it's the ultimate 'Dad' song. he played it for me only a few months ago and I remember being nearly in tears about it, it's beautiful. So I can only imagine what a chord it strikes for you. I really hope though you have other songs that you associate in a more soothing way with him. and I really hope it doesn't taint your birthday because that's you, you don't have to live in someone else's shadow. honestly, you're allowed to have your own day!
lots of love xxx

See--that's the selfless thing about me sometimes. I usually devote the day to my mom since it was her who went through the pain of giving birth to me on that day. But you know, if y'all wanna give me presents and make me feel special that's cool too :D :D :D Thank you!
