Absolutely my pleasure man. Great to have you as part of the 'Dear Dad' series. Us dads need to support each other and your letter will help others see something in themselves, encourage them to talk about it which has the benefit normalising these feelings. This stuff is important. Thank you. 🙏
This one hits close to home. My son is also 7 and is in The Between phase. It pains me to see him grow. I'm glad you're enjoying the most of this time. I feel like most dads want to rush through their kids' childhood so they have more time to golf.
Can’t read this without giving you your props man. A kid who is no rush to be anything but a kid speaks to the nurturing love you and your partner are providing. I wish boys never had to grow up so quickly. You’re doing great.
One of the best pieces of parenting advice I've ever gotten is that it's our job to allow them to be exactly who they are, to provide guardrails for them to be them. But in the end, they have to be THEM, whoever that is.
Dude. It only gets better. Trust me. You'll hear a lot of "Yeah, but wait till he's three" or whatever but fuck all that. Each phase is better than the last.

Oh man, the center of venn diagram that is joy, wonder, sadness, and sorrow is such a complicated fucking place. But one we're luck to be in!
Amen to that! It’s been a wild ride thus far.

This is a great read - our kiddo is only 15 months and we're loving it, but you're getting me excited for the future!
