So not rehab

***Deviation ahead, please stand by...***

I'll never profess to being a hip, happening fashion or movie blogger. I'm just too "straight" as one of my patients told me recently.

However, I really enjoyed this article featuring Helen Mirren discussing fashion, insecurity, butt, and thighs.

I hope you enjoy being who you are as much as I do. Live like you want to live, baby!

More to come...

Wishes

I was just like you. I was born on a Thursday, too. We had the same hair and eye color. I grew up straight and tall and you saw it.

You knew I would get married, but you didn't make it to the wedding (and you told me you wouldn't).

We named our little boy a good Irish name you would have liked and used your name as one of his middle names (with his other grandpa's name), and I did it just right, so you wouldn't be reminded of the father who abandoned you so long ago. As the folks in the neighborhood used to say when he was a baby, Bubba was a buster (see #3 here.)

A decade has passed, and on this day, I still think of you.

Happy birthday, Dad.

Love,

RehabRN
