Heyo. It's been a minute.

I had a good weekend with my kids. Went to the pool. Took them to see Elemental (honestly a lot better than I thought it would be). Spent a few too many hours helping my young son activate towers and get armor in a Zelda game so he can explore more freely when he's back at his mom's. I've taken a weird sense of pride and duty in doing what I can to help him succeed in video games when I'm not around. It's about the most millennial dad thing I do.

Being a father to my kids is by far the most rewarding, draining, beautiful, stressful, unequivocal role I have in life. And nothing will ever come close. The time I spent with them is the depth of my love, the height of my joy, and the extent of my inner peace.

Anyway, I guess I felt a bit more melancholy than usual dropping them back off at their mom's this evening. I blame the Father's Day for that. And I guess I'm just looking for a chat or a friend with another parent that can understand this rambling post.

Cheers.
