Daddy's Birthday

Today is daddy’s 33rd birthday and he is so incredibly sad. We both are. We thought that we would be able to share this day with you. We pictured ourselves pushing you around in your new stroller, taking you to the beach and playing in the sand, kissing you goodnight. We pictured ourselves doing so many things with you. But we find ourselves alone and sorrowful. We’ve lost our future in you. Direction hasn’t found us, purpose hasn’t fulfilled us, and emptiness still lurks, especially in the daylight hours. Come back to us. It’s impossible to really live without you.
