One of the closest bonds I share on this planet is with my father. He and I have a very sentimental relationship. We are wildly attached to each other in thought and emotion.

My dad and I both lead extremely busy and chaotic lives. On most days, I don’t even know whether he is in the country.  Yet, we try and make the most of our time together, in unique ways.

The two of us also share a love for stargazing. And on my birthday this year, he gifted me a telescope that we’re yet to test out.

I love that my dad can be childlike with me. In addition to the fun, my dad is full of wisdom that he blesses me with through all the many letters he writes to me.
