you ever marvel at how fast little kids can flow through emotions? they get a little tired then overwhelmed by the smallest things, then two seconds later—it's all good like nothing happened. just business as usual. why are you still on that, dad~?

whereas with adults, something that irritates or frustrates us can just linger or take a bit more conscious effort to flow through.

took a short nap woke up to the little one giving me a big hug asking me to wake up <333

core memory moment

#itsallworthit #parentstr #dadstr #notdreamstr

a beautiful thing about learning to devote myself so fully to the Woman of my life is that my love for Her is reflected in how i love and care for the little one. <3

if your kids are teaching you how to be selfless, then you're a bit behind the curve.

better late than never though.

this is also a good rule of thumb for the kiddos.

keep your word. follow through. demonstrate integrity.
