Matt McGorry Instagram – Tuesday, 4/12 was my birthday. 11 days after my dad passed and my first birthday without him. 

I wanted to share another part of the letter that I wrote/read to him in order to continue sharing our love for one another and in the hopes that you might feel it too. 💜

“As you know, for many years, I have had a difficult time discussing with you the idea that one day you would transition into another realm. I felt unable to accept this truth, or at least to look at it directly without feeling like I would be blinded by devastation. And yet, as I mentioned on the call where you told me about your diagnosis, it was my last visit here just a few months ago that I felt I was finally able to accept this truth.

God, I am so sad to come to the full realization that this beautiful version of our connection cannot go on forever. But I am indescribably grateful to have this time with you, that not everyone gets with their beloved before they pass. I think my greatest fear is that I wouldn’t have a chance to say ‘goodbye.’ I will never be able to express how grateful I am that we have this time, in which the hourglass of life may have shifted dramatically, but I am still able to look into your eyes and tell you, hopefully more than ever, how much I love you.

To have the vision of life narrowed into this window of time has also provided a humbling perspective that makes me feel even more grateful than ever. More than ever, I am aware of how each moment with you is a gift, how every time I see you laugh or smile is a blessing, even when sitting next to you watching TV shows I hate whose names I don’t have to mention. 

The best parts of me come from you and mom. It is radical to see men (especially white men) imbued with the values that have guided your life. To see tenderness, compassion, empathy, care, profound humility, emotional intelligence and love embodied without hesitation, restraint, or shame. I have no doubt that seeing these qualities modeled in both you and mom has allowed me to become the person that I am today. I can’t believe how lucky I have been to absorb these values and build on them with the understandings and conviction of my generation.”
