"There can be no Sunrise without the Sun's light, so all of this makes perfect sense. This project is here to launch today, as we celebrate your life."
San Juan, PR
I have never openly described or thought of a woman as being good for my health, but that's exactly what you've proven to be. You have replenished my body, mind, and heart. You have even fed and fueled parts of me that I was unaware were low; my courage, my ambition. When I think about all the places you've touched my life, and how fiercely your light has sparked my fire, simply saying 'Thank you' seems dull. Totally Flat.
My gratitude and inspiration both run much deeper than this, so much deeper than saying what is always said. Strangers will thank you because it is customary, and children will say it because they are told to do so. We are closer than the former and have more history than the latter, you deserve more than two thin words. You've never been a puddle for me so I won't do that to you. I don't believe in wasting inspiration. I'll do my part and take what you've given me and pay it forward. I'll put down beautiful stories and paint with lasting emotions. I'll create something that matches your body and spirit.
A dedication is a more appropriate gift because it is less likely that it will be forgotten, even when we are gone. it will inspire someone. This is for you.
Sunrise
Happy Birthday, Sunshine.
