At any rate, I decided today that I was going to live my life the way my father would want me to...to get up out of this rut and move forward. We cannot deny our sadness, but to help get over it, we have to face life head on--NO FEAR! Come what may!
Here is my birthday wish for myself: For however long I have on this earth, I want to live my life well. I want people to reflect on my life much the same way people are with my father's passing.
It feels like it's going to be a good first day of my 42nd year!
Happy Birthday Ran-doooooooooooooooooooodeh. Death is where we are all equal. The only difference is that great people never die...we are reminded by them by always wanting to emulate them...by setting the benchmark for us they made sure that they are always around. All I can say is that we are so lucky to have Ammo in our lives and in that you are doubly fortunate to call him dad. His love is around and his spirit will continue to shine.
ReplyDeleteI love your birthday gift to yourself my loveliest Dudeh.. You certainly were 3ammo's soft spot and he would have never wished or wanted to leave you with a better gift than his legacy to live by, and to shine and guide your way!
ReplyDeleteGod bless his beautiful soul and yours; you are and will always be blessed to be daddy's little girl for as long as you live.. and for as long as he did!
With much love..

What a truly dignified way to mourn someone you love. You are an incredible trooper and I love you for that! Ammo would be so proud of you. Although we did not really celebrate, I am glad that we had the chance to be with you on your birthday! I hope all your days are special and full of wonderful moments. You are an amazing human being and you only deserve the best!
