5/5/25-See You at the Finish Line

Dad-

On this date 24 years ago we stood together on the grass near the start line of the Spring Sprint Triathlon at South Shores Park in Mission Bay.  I was getting ready to start my race when you told me, “See you at the finish line.”  Little did I know you weren’t talking about the finish line for that race, but the final finish line of life.

As I can see my finish line getting closer, I hope you are still waiting for me.  I can’t wait to hear your special way of saying everything was “Super!”  I can’t wait for us to catch up, maybe over a round of golf or something (do they have that up there?).

I hope when you look down on me you are as proud of me as a son as I am to call you “Dad.”

See you soon.

Love-Matt
