27 July 1945

the day one of the roots of my family tree was born. 60 years in this ever-changing world, without once stepping away from the path you chose. 35 years later, i came into your life and, although we were not the closest pair, you have taught me many things. most of all, you have been an example for me. the values that guide my life have come from you. i just hope i can see you another 60 years in this world. enjoy your day. i'll be thinking of you.
if only i had a fraction of the talent that flows through your veins, i could continue the family tradition. i guess that's why i came second...
