Today is my dads bday, he would have been 56. I want more than anything to celebrate his life and not mourn his loss.
I honor you today father for your humor wisdom and wit.
Your devotion, all these things never dimly lit
But like fire, swept into our lives
gracing over the deepest part of our souls
In this moment I share with your spirit
my deepest love magnified to fly
up to where you may lie.
As the sun sets like it did in your eyes
The rays of your presence still shine bright in our lives.
So to extend Gratitude and Love on your special day
I pray to God this makes its way.
Because on your birthday
I want to make sure you know
I admire you sincerely, i LOVE you dearly
and those feelings continue to grow

Drawn mainly from the collections of the National Library of Medicine, Dream Anatomy shows off the anatomical imagination of past anatomy enthusiasts in some of its most astonishing incarnations, from 1500 to the present. I found it veeerrrry interesting.
