Dear Max,
In the 28 years we have know each other I’ve seen you grow from a toddler to a man. Our connection is through your father Alex Lowe. He is standing proud with a hand on your shoulder in this kindergarten snapshot. Your father and I shared a fascination with gravity. The transformation of the human spirit when set in a situation of dire consequences was a connection that ran deep. We helped each other reach our goals. The moments spent on summits became our life summits.
Today, as you turn 30, you are well aware that there are no guarantees in life. It was 19 years and 6 days ago that an avalanche swept your father away. I walked away. I’ll never know why I survived. In the shadow of tragedy your mother, brothers and I found a solace that we knew was right for us. That you, the oldest of your mini bro-pack, welcomed me into your life was a foundation for the love that still reverberates and grows with in our family.
From getting you to school on time to exploring the world there was never a dull moment. Being there for you as you graduated college and embarked on life’s journey was a highlight for both your mother and I. That you have found a place in the same profession as Alex and I is heartwarming. Your mother and I are ever so proud of you. The stories you tell, in all mediums, help all of us recognize what it means to be human. You are doing great things.
This next decade begins with your most challenging and ambitious project yet. Your vision is to tell the story of your life: how it is shaped by the mountains and the people that define themselves by visiting the most inhospitable places on earth. How each of us is torn between a life of domestic happiness and a life on the edge of adventure. This is a big task. As you traverse the peaks and valleys of this project you will discover who you are.
Like your father, you respond to challenge by working harder with increased dedication and focus. This drive is forever coupled with humor and happiness, as best expressed in the smile you had as a little shaver. This energy is still with you. You have a few more whiskers, yet this smile is all you.
Happy Birthday!
Love,
Dad
