You should've been 62 now

Today would have been the day you turned 62, dad - January 4.

I've been thinking of you all day, wishing we could celebrate you for real, see you open those presents slowly as you always did, driving us all insane and loving it! Watch you push your glasses up after noticing them gliding down your nose, very often with your middle finger but not always aware of it. Laugh with you when joking about grabbing the middle piece of the cake and not start at one end. Try to be quick about pulling the plate back after you had served cake and tried to bury my thumb in all the cream. Hear you guess what's in the present before opening it, and then carefully examining your gift with great interest.

Always in my heart, dad, I love you.
