<> another year around the sun <>

<>♥♥<>♥♥<>

It was I who occurred

{more exactly emerged}

these many years ago

{so the story goes}

...

but the truth be told, 

I am not old

In fact, I am still arriving...

<>♥♥<>♥♥<>

And many more...

Dear younger me,

I'm sorry that you didn't have much faith in me when you first imagined us at age 21.

We were just a -tad- too cynical back then, huh?

Anyway, I hope I've done us proud.

...

May you live all the days of your life.

p.s. Happy Father's Day.
