Sometimes, there are moments when you realize that you’re not perfect. In fact, sometimes, you realize that you just plain suck. Today was one of those days.
Today, at around noon, I realized that it was July 23rd. Which means that my dad’s birthday was 10 full days ago. Somehow, in the recent madness of moving, a constant stream of visitors and honestly, my own self-centeredness, I forgot to wish him a happy birthday. And that sucks.
So dad, because I know you read this, I cannot tell you how sorry I am, and I really want to wish you a belated happy birthday. I don’t have a good reason for forgetting- you raised me better than that, and I feel really bad.
You are an amazing person. You have always been an incredible father, and even though it’s late, I want you to know that I love you and am wishing you an admittedly belated but nonetheless heartfelt happy birthday.
Thank you for being such an amazing dad. Not only have you always been way too generous with me- whether it’s helping us with our wedding, buying our house, or just mailing me awesome glittery purses with cartoon characters on them- you gave me the best childhood ever.
Whether you were trying to stay positive about my lack of athletic ability…
or cheating a little to ensure that I could do the seemingly impossible…
or just ensuring that we were all impeccably dressed…
I love you.
And I always will.
I’m sorry. Happy Birthday. Keep an eye on the mail.
