Dad
I missed my dad's birthday, as usual. Oh, and don't forget the Easter cards. I always have these big expectations that I will send out cards/updates to all these people. I buy the cards. I write the cards. I even stamp the cards. Then one year later I find them sitting in my card box. What a waste! So, I was late this year...but I sent the cards anyway.
As for my dad's birthday, I did what any normal 35 year old would do! I made a photo album for my dad. About me. I know that sounds pretty selfish, but the thing is...I'm never around him. I have been all these different places - and while he's heard some stories, he never gets to see the photos! So, I made a little story book of my life after 18. Pics of me all over. On the pics I glued in tiny little pictures of my dad - so he would know that he was always with me even though I was far far away. I know cheesy kids stuff. But hey - I got him to cry. And that itself is amazing!
Happy Birthday Pop!

I think a photo album is an awesome idea and not selfish at all. I think you showed him the parts of your life he missed...and that is never selfish.
You know that thing about the cards, I do the same damn thing and it's so frustrating...sometimes I am so disorganized.
I had a dream about you last night. It was nothing spectacular just that you were here or I was there...couldn't tell from the scenery but one thing I remember clearly is that it was so nice to hug you again. I swear girl, I really miss you.
