When I was a kid, my step dad would pay me to clean his condo. I had to clean everything except for his oil lanterns. They were too precious. As time went on, we started building our relationship and forming trust, he finally allowed me to polish the lanterns. I cleaned them thoroughly yet delicately because by now they were precious to me as well. Fast forward, my step father passed away and when he did, my mother gave me all of his CDs. I added them one by one to my itunes, i must have added over 500 songs. When I finished, I turned on shuffle and pushed play, and the first song that played was Daniel by Elton John. Daniel was my stepfathers name. Today I got this tattoo to remember a man that I miss more than words.
