" I DON'T SMOKE ANYMORE BUT I'M TURNING INTO ASHES."


November 25th, 2015.

Today, Dady, you would have turned 61.

I remember last year, I remember the previous years.

I remember the cold, I remember the snow.

I remember this one time when I was standing, here, a cigarette in my mouth, a few flowers in my hands.

I remember sitting on this frozen bench, shivering. Always that bench.

I remember that sometimes I didn’t sit. Because of the snow.

Untying, freeing the flowers. Writing. With all my heart, all my pain, all my love.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday.

I remember standing there, in front of this cold plaque. Reading, over again. Realizing.

Weakening. I remember staying there, dazed. I remember running away.

For almost 15 years now. Every single year.

I remember planting those flowers, hoping they’ll keep you warm while I’m gone.

Today, Daddy, I can only remember this plaque, this bench, this cold. Millions of kilometres away.

The scenery has changed. I’m still standing. I’m not smoking anymore, I have a flower in my hair. I’m standing in front of the Ocean.

I’m still weak sometimes. I miss you and this world is mad.

But this world is full of beauty.
