“On becoming a double-digit dad” — I thought maybe you decided to up the ante and add 8 more kids to the family. That would have been true commitment to fatherhood.
Great to have you back in my inbox. I hope you and the family are are through the sharpest side of the grief.
My kids are now 12 and 15 and I feel like I've walked smack into the next stage of parenting like a glass door I didn't see. Most of the time it feels like I've got young adults, only sometimes do they feel like kids and rarely my little babies. It's an awe filling experience to reflect on how far they've come, how amazing they are now, and how excited about what comes next for them I am. And sometimes that voice in my head says I might even be a half decent parent too, which is nice.
