Becoming a dad

Fourteen years ago today, I became a dad. On that exact same day, at that exact same moment, one of my dearest teachers was born. Every day with children presents certain opportunities and tests to show up with love and be of service… to be a teacher and a student, simultaneously. It is humbling, sometimes heartbreaking, joyous, and, really, a lot of everything. I am grateful to be in this classroom with possibilities galore. Happy Birthday, V!!!

(There is so much more to unpack about fatherhood, but not at this moment.)
