You did not like birthday wishes and always grumbled a bit when I phoned you.
Today would have been your birthday, and I wish I could hear you grumble.
Deep inside I know you’re OK.
I’d still wish you were closer, close enough to hear me, close enough to see me.
Maybe you are
I dropped a tear in the ocean.
The day you find it is the day I will stop missing you.

J’ai versé une larme dans l’océan.
Le jour ou tu la trouveras est le jour où tu vas arrêter de me manquer.

Tu ne voulais jamais que je te souhaite ton anniversaire et tu grognais toujours un peu quand je te téléphonait.
Aujourd’hui est le jour de ton anniversaire, et je souhaiterai tellement pouvoir t’entendre grogner au téléphone.
Fond de moi je sais que tu vas bien.
Je souhaiterai tellement que tu sois proche de moi, assez proche pour m’entendre, assez près proche pour me voir
Peut-être est-ce que tu l’es?

He hears you, of course he does. He’s probably not grumpy about another year passing anymore either! Blessings to you, and happy birthday to your Dad xo

I suspect that he is still close enough to hear and see you. And will never be gone while he is remembered.
Hugs.

Yes, Soosie this is the exact way I try to look at it…The selfish bratty child in me, is the one wanting to hear his voice…
