Now
I hate that I have to go on without you and create the thing you and I thought of. You should have been here to do this with me. Listen to music and laugh. I will never know what would have been the rest of us.
The point we left off. I was still that person. Us. How hard it was to shed and become me. How beautiful it has been to become me. I never would have imagined.
And what will I become. It’s all on your love and building blocks. You were not a great dad, but you raised me up to be me. My real self. I am forever grateful. And you knew it’s what I always wanted.
Forever doesn’t seem long enough.
I trained in voice for twelve years from 6 years old. Much to my parents chagrin, I did not go into classical vocals, I sang in a folk grunge band for for a few years in the 1990s. I used to smoke cigarettes until I got pulmonary thrombosis (blood clot in my lung) at 24, and had to be in the hospital for 10 days. It was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I have run 53 Half Marathons, 2 Marathons including Boston (through the Liver Foundation). I stopped running at 49 because my relationship was over with running and I started an affair with cycling. I love, no, I am obsessed with my furbaby, Ziggy Stardust. The greatest love of my life is my daughter. I am a Dave Matthews devotee and try to catch as many gigs around the states as possible. And finally…I love the Broulet Brothers, Trixie and Katya, and all things Tim Burton.
