James Van Der Beek Instagram – 11 years old today.
This is the year we came to realize your sweetness wasn’t just a by-product of youth. That your good-heartedness wasn’t just naïveté. And that your deep-thinking, soulful nature isn’t something you’re growing out of… but growing into.
This might sound messed up, but some of the moments in which I have the deepest gratitude for you are when you’re upset: About the state of the world, about your siblings, about me. Because it’s how you process, listen, and work through those feelings that gives me hope for the future.
You remain one of my greatest teachers. Thank you for being the family conscience, our class clown, and our heart. I cherish life every time you call me Dad.
I love you, bud. | Posted on 13/Mar/2023 21:15:07
