My Kids Are There When I Need Them Most

Without them, I would wallow in my own mind during times when my own mind is the most dangerous place to wallow in.

What came next could have destroyed me, if I let it.

I never know what fatherhood surprises are lurking around the corner.

Some moments she’s my little princess. Other moments she’s the evil queen.

I know that every cent spent is a minute earned burned, but she doesn’t.

Why do I have to physically stop myself from bringing in a plate of pizza bagels and taking a seat in the circle?

It’s not about the people around you. It’s about the person within you.

Say their names and I see a snapshot from long ago. Their ages far exceed my my memories.

Ironically, it feels selfish…when it’s the most selfless thing you can do.
