Patricia Kihoro Instagram – My dad would have turned 64 today. And instead of the pangs of pain I expected to feel today because there would be no morning phone call where we’d joke and go off on a tangent about many unrelated things, or a possible hang out if he was in town, the day surprised me with a ton of happy memories, and immense gratitude that he was my father. ❤️😊
I was speaking to someone yesterday about today’s date, what it means to me and my intentions moving forward and they said “This may sound corny but I see it as a chance to ‘march forth’ into a new season/future…” I don’t remember what she said verbatim but it was something along those lines, and we laughed about it as I told her how much I love it!
After allowing myself to heed advice and take a time out for as long as I needed to to turn inward, process, mourn, be gentle with myself, heal, and find peace with it all, and regain my strength, today does feel like a rebirth of sorts. And I’m glad I chose today, the day of my dad’s own birth to signify this for me.
I’ll also use this post to put it out into the world (but mostly as a reminder to look back to) that today, March 4th, marks the date that a project I’ve been working on bringing to life for the last couple of months finally exists outside of my head, and becomes a tangible thing. I bought the domain name today, and began the process of registration and I can’t wait to share what it is with you and why I’m doing it in honour of my dad.
I miss you Dad. Thank you for everything.
Happy Birthday! 😌🎊🎁 🕊️ | Posted on 04/Mar/2025 23:21:55
