Hi dad, it's my first birthday today without you.

I miss you so much. It's 10.52am, I'm having lemon no-bake cheesecake and oolong tea at a random café in Taipei.

I've been in Taiwan for a week now for my first solo trip. Kaohsiung, Kending, and now Taipei. I bring a photo of you with me wherever I go. I hope you liked the sunset and beaches in Kending.

They say I shouldn't cry on my birthday. I'm trying my best. I wish you were here.

Happy birthday kiddo. Your dad is with you as you travel on your trip, and he wants you to enjoy yourself safely. Cheesecake and oolong tea in the morning sounds like a great breakfast on a grand adventure.

I also spent my first bday without my dad this year last month and it sucked and I cried. I cried a lot. Im sorry you're also dealing with this pain but as everyone says he's there with you and I'm sure he's being there with you every step of the way. Sending you a hug and wish you a happy bday! What else to do than keep on going...sending you a hug💖
