James posted on January 25, 2026:
My father and my daughter share a birthday today. At first, I thought that was all they shared – they seemed so different to me.
But as the two of you have evolved, and let more of who you are shine through, I can recognize the same open, warm, loving, gentle heart. I see the care and dedication you shower upon those you love most. I see the same out-of-the-box Aquarian creativity and originality. And you both make every room you’re in more fun. Different senes of humor, but you both have a way of alchemizing the vibe around you in such a subtle way one can almost miss how powerfully you do this.
In this crazy world, it’s a wonder to me that you’ve managed to stay so open, so tender, and so genuinely good.
You are marvels… and I’m so insanely grateful to have you in my life.
The world is a better place because the two of you are in it.
Happy birthday, guys. I love you with all my heart
