for Jared Lyman
(March 28, 1975-February 3, 2012)
A man who knew how to love people. For his son's twenty-fifth birthday (sixteen years from now) he wrote:
No Unlesses
I love you and I'm proud of you
You might be watching this from prison
If so-
I love you and I'm proud of you
If you're watching this from backstage at Carnegie Hall-
I love you and I'm proud of you.
It doesn't really matter where you are or what you're doing...
I will always be proud of you and I will always love you.
I think that's what I'd say.
I almost said “Unless...”
But I couldn't think of an “Unless”
Nope
No “unlesses”
