The Journey Through It

You can’t go around it. You can’t go over it. You can’t turn around. You’ll be doomed to repeat it. Might as well go through it.

Dads, Uncles, and Grandfathers

When I was at the bottom, I was in SERIOUS trouble. Death was really close, or best-case-scenario: long-term hospitalization.

My dad stepped up – in a HUGE way – and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to thank him enough.

I can’t help but grieve that my children don’t have a dad like that. If they were in trouble, he wouldn’t step up. He can’t. He doesn’t have the tools. And probably never will.

Thank GOD I can show my kids examples of other types of men — uncles and a grandfather — who would move heaven and earth for them.
