“A birthday without my dad feels different. I wish I could hear his voice, see his smile… call me Singa... one more time... Some birthdays are not about growing older, but about missing the ones who made you who you are today, who built you, who blessed you, who made every birthday special. Miss you daddy - Singa.”
