As their father,
I’ve always tried to protect them and their beautiful minds from any and all harm.
Yet they still feel pain. They still feel sadness.
But to be human is to feel all range of emotions. Silly daddy.
This little dude inside of me—the one who’s been secretly running the show—he’s pretty magnificent. Despite the chaos, the obstacles, and the challenges life threw at him, he survived.
13 years since I walked away…
from my dependable job with benefits and reliability. Still standing and thriving.
Don’t be fooled by the hype. It’s not easy.
It’s not recommended for the faint of heart. But I had to bet on myself and went all in.
Plus I don’t have a heart.
