The other thing that deserves a mention on a day like today, an auspicious day, the first of the summer is that it is also the anniversary of my father's death. This year makes it 11 years, which I personally think is crazy, it's been that long...? Really?

Dad, I still think of you and miss you often.
When I think of you I want you to hug me, pass on your wisdom, see what I'm doing, comment on them in your both wise and annoying arrogant way.
I still feel you sometimes, when I need you, I think you never really leave me.
I hope you are proud of me and the things I've done and will do with my life.

Rest in peace wherever you are.
