To my son, Isaiah:
I love you buddy! If you are reading this on the blockchain years down the line, even if I happen to be dead and gone, know that I live on! Maybe just down the street. Maybe just in zeroes and ones. And hopefully in your heart. But certainly I do live on, because there is no way to die after seeing the light that you have inside of you!
Today I was a successful Dad.
Today I was a successful dad.
I saw a genuine smile on my child's face.
Today, I was a successful dad.
I saw his nose crinkle up, and eyes sparkle with life and joy
Today I was, a successful dad.
I had a connection with my son.
Today I was a success. Even for my endless failures.
Now your light shines bright in me.
And so I'm putting these feelings into words.
Why was I a successful daddy today?
Because you smiled and laughed, and we connected.
And that's how I hope for you to always feel, when you think of me.
I love you, my son.
In so many ways, you are the teacher, and I am the student.
I'm always with you.
Please keep me always, in your heart, if you can.
But no matter what, please know
that your beautiful light
has already changed mine,
forever.
Love,
Daddy
