I had just returned from a two week trip and was dressed for a job interview. I stopped at the local coffee shop for a cup of coffee. I paid and left. As I was walking out the door, my Dad, who I had not seen inside, followed me out and said, ” Come join us for coffee!” I didn’t hesitate a moment, as I didn’t want to be late for the interview, saying, “Sorry, I can’t. I’m on my way to an appointment.” That was the last time I saw my Dad “normal”. By 26 of October, he had suddenly passed. I wish I had sat with him and his friends. Regrets.
This was my 31st birthday. I spent that day flying to Perth, Western Australia, for my cousin’s wedding. It was my first time in a plane, first time visiting her since I was 7yrs old but we had been ‘pen friends’ all those years in between. I am turning 51 this year, it’s been 20 years since her wedding, she has two children I have never met.

I was born on this day. My brother had named me Selina after the famous singer Selena. My dad mispelled my name though haha. #goodtimes
I was born on this day too 🙂

I was born on this day too. It’s so sad to think he only have a few more moments to capture before he passed away, while I was just starting my life.
