My Dear Wesley and Taylor:
Tomorrow you turn 21. A
very happy birthday to you both.
21? I must have blinked somewhere along the way – and now
can say unequivocally that we have been through so much together. We have a
history spanning decades now, and this makes my head spin. How about you two?
Does it trip you out to be full-on adults now?
You have both proven to be such blessings – and it’s impossible
to think about my life without you in it.
I am a twin and you are twins. This in itself is amazing. We
are part of a club, and are all too aware of what the bond means. You have taught me
things only you could teach me, and without even realizing it perhaps. How to
be a father – your dad. About patience, about joy – the thrill of seeing you
grow and mature. The precious memories of your beyond-cute moments and
milestones.
And now you are embarking on adulthood. I am sure I fell
short in so many ways, broke promises and let you down. For this I am truly
sorry.
But from Day One I have loved you. And you know this. Forever
and Always. I am so very proud of you two, and eternally grateful that you
decided to look down from heaven and say, “We’ll take that one. He needs help."
Happy birthday, my loves.
