Dear Dad,

Whether together or apart there’s not a day that goes by,
that I’m not thinking of how lucky I am to have you in my life. 

Happy Father’s Day to my own superhero.
I can fight battles as long as I have you to follow.

You’re a coach on the field and at home. With you on my team I’ll never be alone. 

I‘m not fond of your rock bands, but you’re a rockstar to me.
Thank you father, for always believing in my wildest dreams. 

From trips to the park to movie theater nights, our list of adventures goes on.
“My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw will forever be our special song. 

I love to cheer on our favorite sports teams,
and watch your eyes fill with the utmost glee.

You’re the first man to really love me, you took me to our first Daddy-Daughter dance.
If any boy ever dare try to hurt me, against you they wouldn’t stand a chance.

You provide my life with the greatest memories filled with joyous and genuine laughter.
You’ll remain the best man in my life even once I’m living happily ever after.

Thanks to you I know I can take on this whole world,
I hope you know I’ll always be your little girl.

~~~

Happy Father’s Day to all fathers!

Making History at 19

Due to this pandemic, many individuals have had to celebrate their birthdays in quarantine, yet I never expected I would be one of them.

When last year I spent my eighteenth birthday playing in my last high school orchestra concert, I thought I’d always have next year to have a big pool party! But, the world had other plans.

As the city was only just beginning the process of reopening, and with only days until May 3rd, we decided it was best to party from home!

I started my day by, of course, getting glammed up to go nowhere!

Then, we got to get creative with my birthday cake. We decided on a vanilla cake that we attempted to dye purple. This proved to be harder than we thought. Luckily we had cream cheese frosting, that we dyed pink, to top it off. As for birthday candles, we forgot them, so we had to improvise. But, I have to admit, I was impressed with the way that it turned out. Not only did it look good, but it was tasty too!

My only wish this year was that the world soon heal from this, so that we can step outside unafraid and hug our friends again.

My day was filled with love and gratitude as I was surrounded by family, and was still able to talk with my loved ones that could not be with me.

I’m glad I have this blog post as documentation of such strange times in our world. Never did I ever imagine that by simply staying home, l’d be making history at 19.
