Rest In Peace dad. Travel plentiful safely out there in the cosmos, can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since u transitioned. Thank u for showing me the arts, DOOM and Madlib, Graffiti, Movies, and passion for having passion. I still remember those late night train rides thru the city. Know your boy loves u and always thinks of u. Keep on, until we meet down the road of the lonely ones once again.
