There are two people in my world that I recognize on Father’s Day, my dad for raising me, and my husband for raising my loves. Let’s start at the beginning with my dad.
You have been a quiet compass in my life, always at the center of whatever trajectory I chose, pointing out into the darkness of the world as a lighthouse of possibility. I see what my life could become because I have watched you build yours. I know what kindness and love look like because I have seen you scatter it among strangers and people you knew couldn’t deserve or return it. The way you have reinvented yourself, your life, your career, and continue to purposefully, painstakingly develop beyond your comfort zone, has opened up for me a bright window overlooking the infinite possibilities in my own future. There are many small steps in my life that I’d have never had the inclination or courage to take, if it weren’t for your footprints so clearly there.
