A Letter for Jeff & Phillip on your 3rd Birthday

Jeff & Phillip.

My sons. God formed you to be perfect in the queerness of your being. Even though you have now traveled three years since your formation, perfection is still there. Learn to live into your being. For, in the queerness of your being is your perfection…and the perfection of the God who created you. In this journey called life, God is within you. Your stunning hunger for knowledge is from God. Don’t let anyone tell you where you can explore and where you can’t. Knowledge is everywhere. Your beautiful love for everyone is from God. Don’t let the world teach you a bunch of useless categories that complicate and divide. Love the splendor of all spectrums. Your energy is from God. When you start to get tired, keep pushing and don’t stop. You will learn to run and not grow weary. You are now three…so be three…but as you grow…don’t forget to zealously keep searching and loving for as long as you have breath. I will love you forever.

Dad.
