This Makes 71


James is playing music for you right now. I'm writing this to you. Michelle and Natalie toasted you earlier tonight on video with Mom. There is a space between where we loved you while you were still here and where we have to love you now. That space is filled with the way we love you by loving each other. It's also filled with the way we love you by loving the things we do. So as James is playing music that would make you dance, and I'm trying to write words that would make you nod, and Michelle is doing everything with Natalie that would make you proud, and Mom is being an amazing mom and grandma in all the ways that would make you grin, we're loving you.

Happy birthday, Dad.
