"Happy Birthday Dad, you would have been 61 today. I'm sure we would have been enjoying this day together as we always have, but i've come to learn that time is a formidable adversary that changes the course of every story in unexpected ways, including our very own. I won't forget the lessons you taught me and will continue to strive to become the best man I can be. I will stand the test of time and outwork any opponent that may come my way, but time... time is something I cannot beat. I will enjoy the moment as you told me to and i'll make the most of what I have in the present because just as you have taught me, it can vanish in an instant. There will come a day where we will meet again and in that moment, we will have a lot of catching up to do; but until that day comes, I know I have a job to see through, and that Dad, is to reach the top. Much love from your son." - Thomas John Petrecca "TJ" (Proverbs 3:5-6)
