Today is my father’s birthday, but I’m not there with him. I am down in Brazil with Sergio who’s family is going through a particularly difficult time so I wanted to wish him all the best and let him know I’m thinking of him.
My relationship with my parents has only deepened and grown stronger over the years, despite the fact that I couldn’t live a more different life than they know (gay, urban and childless) but the bond and understanding has never wavered or been stronger. My parents and my father in particular are living heroes who I strive to emulate. This is Dad on his boat on Lake Winnipesaukee in 2013.
