Happy birthday today to my dad Shawn Risling !!
I definitely have you to thank for my love of music and exploring dubstep and electronic music when I was younger, and showing a genuine interest that sparked my love for the music I love now (and also why I can go from listening to Five Finger Death Punch, to the Chemical Brothers or DJ Scooter in the next song lol).
You not only helped me explore music which is a HUGE part of my life today, but also my first gaming buddy (i still remember the day I beat you in Halo 2 as a kid 😂😂). You helped me explore my interests in music, games, movies (i still watch mortal kombat annually), and how I try and carry myself as a man with the strength and courage I watched you display while I was growing up.
We have ups and downs like any family does, but I am very proud and thankful to call you my dad, and role model.
These are just a few of my favourite pictures throughout the years! I hope you have an amazing day dad and that you get some much deserved relaxing.
