lyrics

Dear Sunniva,

Can you hear me? This letter is for you. I didn’t really “live through.” My only regret is that fatherhood was the bane of all I wanted to last, of all that I once loved… But you live on in my heart.

So tell me, darling, do you know that I love you? I’ll always love you. I wish I… God, I wish I could say something more. There’s a return address scribbled on this heart… Do I mistake you for God? Are you the light that has guided me this far? Are you the Sun, hidden behind these rainy afternoon skies? Are you the Sun, hidden behind the Seattle Sunday that my days have been trying to impersonate?

Write back soon.

Love,
Daddy
