    My father loved the 4th of July. He became a citizen in 1993 and from then on, we had a small American flag planted on the edge of a wooden fence near the shrubbery in front of my childhood home. That sun-faded flag somehow lasted through a quarter century of terrible weather 1/

    We did it…we hit the quadfecta of bias! Don’t ever change, you guys. Sports are pretty great. So is the job. Love you all. Really, I do.

    It helps to recognize that. Because maybe I can start to enjoy the spoils of a life once driven by anger and resentment. Maybe plant my own flag in one place long enough to where it has the chance to wear many years of rain and snow and fade with the light of the sun. /fin

    Everything is fine. I'm good. Good things happen. I have good all throughout my life, including my family. But this time of year is a symbol of something. The chase for stability, for independence, for life and liberty and happiness. It will never be complete, and that's ok 27/

    But I was just always hoping that the six of us would be in a room together one more time. July 4, 2001 was the final time it happened. 28/

    The 4th of July is bittersweet and melancholy. A reminder of the simplest and perhaps most complete time of my life mixed with a fading memory of the very last moment we were a family, whole and together. The dissolution of that began 23 years ago today. 26/

    Every July 4, we would take the short walk as a family to Community Park for the fireworks. And while we never bought a single sparkler or firecracker, he always seemed to be taken by the show. And being the son of my father, I too would be mesmerized by the colors and sounds 2/

    My dad died in 2018. That summer, I walked by that same wooden fence near the shrubbery that summer and took the frayed, worn, sun-faded American flag off of it. That 4th of July, I called a hot-dog eating contest on television. That was my version of a small American flag. 25/

    So when he came back to spend a week with us, it just felt right. He was leaving the next morning so that night, July 4, we walked to Community Park to watch the fireworks as a family. I was a nervous and quiet kid but I felt whole when my brothers and family were all together 4/

    My favorite July 4 was 23 years ago. My oldest brother had recently moved to Vancouver with his wife, the first time since I had been alive that the family wasn't all together. And while I hated seeing him leave, I understood that it was just a natural part of the dynamic 3/

    When they got divorced, I wrote her into my will. Recently, I bought my first home. And I bought a new car for the first time in 14 years. I'm giving my old car to her now 16-year-old son. My nephew. All of these are grasps at trying to create a new story of stability 24/

    I just felt nostalgic and wanted to say the thing about this thing like many others have. Cheers.

    They escorted him to a car and took him to County. So there I was, 14 years old, in a once-spotless and now ruined home. Me and a dozen officers, waiting for my religious immigrant parents to return from their trip to Devon so that I could translate to them what had happened 15/
