A lifetime pilling up...

Happy birthday. I hope that you found peace where ever you are and I hope you'll have a lot of stories to tell when we finally meet up again. But for now I would just like to thank you. I want to thank you for your selflessness. You always put my needs before yours. You never thought twice about doing things that made me happy. You showered me with gifts as well as morals. I always came first...

I want to thank you for taking care of me for those 14 years. For being there when my parents couldn't or didn't want to be. You quit your job, you gave up your life to spend time with me, to be the parent my mother and father didn't want to be. You helped me grow up into the man I am today. If it weren't for you, I would have given up so long ago. You gave me strength. You gave me wisdom...

I want to thank you for teaching me how to dream. You filled our house with fun and joy. You gave me rolemodels; from actors to politicians, encouraging me to reach for the stars. But what I regret most is that I never got to tell you that the person I most wanted to be, was you...

I'm sorry you had to suffer. I'm sorry for not understanding. I'm sorry for not saying goodbye. Happy birthday and see you soon...
