Dear Dad,
Im bursting with excitement that you made it to Alaska ;-)
I only wish I was there to share in the excitement and see your eyes sparkle with your first amazing sighting of various wildlife.... The birds catching thermals soaring among the beauty in natures quiet paradise....
It's been almost two years since Mom's passing. I remember looking you directly in the eye at the funeral and what I said... I'll paraphrase what I said once again:
You have worked every day of your life... Now, You are completely free.
So what do you want to be "when you grow up"? What makes you happy? Do you know? Have you every had the opportunity to find out? What did you dream of doing when you were a kid.... Do you want to visit the pyramids? See the Eiffel tower? Do you want to run for president? Sit by a lake in South America? Go to college for something random you wanted to study but never had the opportunity to delve into?
Whatever, you decide to do, however, little or grand, I have your back Dad. 100% and will support you whatever your adventures in life morph into over time.
One of the (many) greatest joys in my life was spending time with you in DC after Mom's death and finally showing you "my world" watching you smile, drink in the atmosphere, participate & enjoy, learning about your daughter and experiencing her friends..... It was a simple as that... and it rocked (Thank you for that moment)
You have done an amazing job 2 years into this new adventure. YOU have traveled AND gotten a passport!!!!! ( <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 can't say that enough) Seeing you thrive, dream and experience brings me great joy.
One of the better early birthday presents I've experienced was yesterday... Just hearing your smile on the phone ;-)
Keep it up. We/you have soooo much yet to feel, taste, smell & be in this life!
Love as always your daughter,
Susan
