Yesterday was donuts with dad and I missed majority of it trying to go to work. As a working father, there’s usually a tension of being in multiple places as one. Ensuring that I’m present at work, but also present for my family. Honestly there’s a lot of guilt at times, missing key moments that are special for my son, because work is calling.
Yesterday as I tried to make it wor work, and unable to even make it far because of the crowds, I couldn’t help but to recall the moments my dad created with me. My first parade, my first protest, all my firsts with him and I became incredibly emotional. Those memories are still vivid to me. I made a call to go to donuts with dad and picked up my son. He expressed that he wanted to go to the parade. So we went. He said he had so much fun, and that’s all that matters. Love you Joshy
