I wish he could see who I'm becoming — and tell me, in his way, whether I'm getting it right.

New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Some part of me still listens for his car in the driveway, just in case.
If wishes had weight, mine would build him a path back from wherever he is.
Dad, I'd skip every party for the rest of my life for one quiet hour with you.
The hardest part of losing him isn't the missing — it's the unanswered things piling up.
I wish his name still belonged to a phone call I could make tonight.

More from today
Father, come back even for a minute, and I'll let the rest of the world wait.
If love alone could call him home, the door would already be opening.
I keep the photograph close — not because it's enough, but because nothing else is.
I wish him here, and I know he is, in the small steady way he taught me to live.
Dad, every wish I make ends with you — and starts with you, too.
One whole year of you — congratulations on surviving teething, parents, and your own bewildered feet.
Happy first birthday, little man — you've turned three hundred sixty-five days into a love story.
You came in tiny and twelve months later you're still tiny, but louder and faster.
First birthday, first cake, first smear of frosting that ends up where frosting was never meant to go.
Happy 1st — may year two bring more steps, fewer falls, and bedtime that actually sticks.
One year of staring at ceiling fans like they're the great mystery of the age.
Cheers to the boy who learned to clap before he learned the joke.
Happy first birthday — you don't know what cake is yet, but you're about to find out emphatically.
Twelve months in and already running the household with two syllables and excellent eye contact.
Happy 1st, sweet boy — the first candle is the cutest one you'll ever have to figure out.
You've gone from sleepy bundle to small diplomat in record time. Congratulations.
One year ago you couldn't lift your head; today you lift the whole room's mood.
Happy first birthday — may your second year be full of giggles and surprisingly good naps.
He's one — old enough to point, young enough that pointing counts as conversation.
