my dad would’ve turned 60 today. the man that encouraged me to do what scared me, taught me how to smile big, laugh loudly, think critically, fail gracefully and to always enjoy life – would’ve been roasted to fucking filth for being an old man today. as i reflect on the last 6 years without his light i can’t help but think about all the stories we would’ve told each other, all the laughs and glasses of crown royal we would’ve shared, all the fruitful swearing we would’ve done, all the celebrating i wish so badly that we could still do – and i feel so thankful to miss someone this much. incredibly sad not to cuddle up under his arm and hear him call me his little lady again, but very very thankful for all the days i could feel that. in the first photo he was around 22 years old, in the navy and bussing tables, with 3 sons, a wife who just moved from the philippines to florida to be with him, AND a fucking mortgage. so insane. because he carried all that weight for our family i get to be who i am today, do all the wild shit that i do. i get to think back on and celebrate all of my beautiful memories with an incredible, endless man. so, cheers to Tony Walker – happy birthday. thank you daddy. love you.
