The Words That Kept Me Content With Being Unhappy

What hurt the most was that I had accepted them.

We have a lot less of these interactions as time goes on, but they still happen.

I’ve never had a relationship as special as the unique ones I have with each of them.

It’s a path I never expected to travel, but am glad I had the courage to walk it.

Being Dad is the greatest, scariest, happiest, lifetime of dread I could have ever signed up for.

I’m not letting him sludge his way through life. My boy looks good. I make sure of it.

The purée literally jumped four feet in the air and came splashing down on his head.

The best way I can describe days like this is that my hair hurts.

Frustrated and pleading, “Come on. You like Jeff Wiggle. Right? It’s a Jeff doll. Yay?” Nada.

One tiny giggle kept these three alive for over a decade and counting.
