Billy Jensen Instagram – Today is my Dad’s birthday. He lived 50 years and 132 days. As of 1pm eastern time today, I have lived 50 years and 132 days. Today is the day I have outlived my father. I didn’t think that would happen. When a parent dies younger, it kind of puts you on a timer, or at least it did me. God has a strange sense of humor to put that day on his birthday.
Last year, I was walking down the steps and for a split second I thought “I need to check in with dad.” In that split second, it felt so real, like he was still here. Then I remembered. Grief doesn’t end after year one. It ebbs and flows. And sometimes when you least expect it, you get hit with a wave that almost knocks you out of the f’n boat. Happy Birthday Dad. Wish I was giving you a wallet from Sears today like every year:
You fought back demons, could turn any rundown house into a masterpiece with the wave of a brush and always went out of your way to make others happy.
Give ‘em a little hell up there or a little heaven down below.
