I am a new father.
My wife and I adopted a baby girl. She’s three weeks old!
This was my first Father’s Day.
It used to be a day mired in complex feelings and emotions, a day that I eventually became indifferent to. This is a fact that I continue to struggle with.
I spent some time today considering what it means to be a father, and to be a parent. I ran across this quote and I like it a lot.
“Dads are mostly ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, storytellers and singers of song.” - Pamela Brown
That's what I want to be.
