Happy Birthday Marley
Today's eclipse is not just any old Tuesday; it’s the universe dialing up the drama in honor of your birthday. At 1:40 PM, I’ll be here in Dallas, looking up as the day turns briefly to night, totally engulfed in the eclipse’s shadow. It’s a whole three minutes of magic that I claim as my birthday card to you. If you remember we did something like this before when you and your brother were younger. It was our own Morse code shared between us that with three light squeezes of a hand we could silently say “I LOVE YOU”. Now that distance stretches between us, I’ve devised a new way for us to connect.
As the darkness of the eclipse embraces me, I’m sending you more than just a silent message. A few hours later the eclipse will reach you and wrapped within it are all my hopes for you and a heart full of love that transcends space and time. This eclipse, with its brief moment of darkness, is my way of reaching out across the cosmos, a signal of my unwavering belief in all that you are and all that you’re destined to become.
It’s my cosmic happy birthday to you, carrying a promise—that no matter where we are, what we’re doing, or how often we speak, that you , me and Miles are forever entangled and inseparable.
Happy 24th,
Love, Dad
