Happy Birthday Sweetie! I hope you find joy in all you do and that when you’re 16, you’ll re-read what your daddy writes here and be a little bit easier on him.

Really, really beautiful post. The truth of our memories and lives being fallible really struck me. The human experience in many ways, is memory. The sweetness of life is our ability to retain the aura of a perfect time and place that was but for a moment.

These moments/memories are somehow without time and not beholden to time’s toll. The love and good vibes generated with our loved ones fly beyond the reach of time and mortality. They are then distilled and folded back into our experience as a sweetness and sustenance.

Nicely done Brian!

A happy belated birthday to Charlotte.

And that was a very sweet post there, dad. Why am I not surprised?

What a lovely letter to your seven-year-old baby from her adoring daddy. I confess, I shed a puddle-full of tears reading this, and I suspect Charlotte will do the same one day.

*sniffle*

Happy (belated) Birthday, Charlotte!!
