The independence and security of which you speak?
Sure you gave us those in spades
You are the one who encouraged me
From L.A. to NYC and all points in between
Let’s set all that aside, for a moment, as it’s not what I will remember most.
Instead, your smile, your laugh
The mischievous glint in your blue eyes like a little boy
The joy you showed me how to feel with your childlike lust for life
Will never die
G will grow up knowing what joy looks like because of you.
I dread the day when you won’t be with us anymore
But when you go – hopefully years from now – please go knowing this one thing:
In my eyes, you will always be the perfect father.
Loving. Generous. Selfless. Joyful.
My hero.
I love you, Dad. -Susan
