I'm here and haven't forgotten about you
Today my Dad would have been 59. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him. With the start of the Boston Bruins playoff push, it's hard to not think about him even more. Miss ya Pops.
Messages to Dad: The Working Title, "In My Life"
I've been told by a few folks that the stuff I've been writing you should be compiled and put into a book. At first, I wasn't sure. I thought most of the stuff was personal, despite being shared publicly.
I've been writing to you here, Tweeting and managing the Facebook page as a way to cope with losing you unexpectedly. It's helped. A lot.
Dad and IDear CC,
I read your book titled "Amazing Things Will Happen."
I knew it was going to be one of those self help type of books, but written in a no bullshit way, a style that I myself enjoy and employ in my own writing. I thank you for that. We, as in consultants in digital marketing and people in general, tend to write in big people words to make themselves sound smarter.
Let's not do that any more. Ever. So again, thank you for that.
Overall, it was well written and reinforced a lot of what's been floating around in my head since I lost my father unexpectedly in February of this year.
After reading the book, this was my reaction (this will make sense to you, but maybe not to others, which is why they should buy the book first, read it and then come back to this post). It's in random order:
Hey Dad, been a while. Haven't written to you here in a bit. Thought it was time to check in.
I read "The Road" and it reminded me a lot about you.
