It’s February 18 today, and I’m happy. And it’s a big deal.

| With Daddy (beaming with pride, I believe!) on my wedding day (January 6, 2001). |
You see, it’s my Dad’s birthday, and today I remember him with happiness in my heart, instead of sorrow and grief. This day is unlike the previous birthdays which had been punctuated by sadness and longing for the man who left us some four years ago. This day, I feel more alive than ever, and grateful that he had been a part of my life.
Had he been alive today, he would have been 69.
