a beautiful reflection. I love all the little details here, like his love for the beach boys.

Beautiful! I got to share Christmas with you when you were three. It was a Christmas full of wonderful memories, but my favorite is still the joy in your dad's eyes every time he looked at you.

Thank you for sharing that with me. The first of many wonderful ones, that’s for sure.
