Today, you’d be 27

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Ian Coronas. We haven’t forgotten you. Not one tiny bit…

You’ve been gone for several years now. I often wonder what you’d be up to today, if only…

What would be added to this video of your brief life?

Wedding photos?

Baby pics?

Sales awards?

New hobbies?

New adventures?

New home?

One thing I know, you’d be the one keeping things “light” during this pandemic. You’d also be the one sneaking out during the stay-at-home orders … I mean there’s just no way.

But you’d always wear your mask to keep others safe — a mask that would probably have something fun printed on it. Starwars maybe? To match your socks.

You’d be supportive of any oppressed group, but you’d also be very puzzled by the violence that’s erupted around the country. You were always inclusive, always the peacemaker.

Despite the state of the world’s current affairs, you’d be optimistic about the future.

I can imagine you walking in the door, flashing your smile, and saying just the right thing to make the world somehow feel balanced again.

On this, your 27th birthday, I can remember you … and I can imagine who you would be.

I’m thankful for that much.
