everyday fatherhood

When joy finds us.

Joy doesn’t wait for the perfect conditions. It just shows up when it wants to.

All it took was the opportunity to spark a fire, and we’ve spent the past 25 years (21 of them married), keeping those flames burning.

I see you joy, hiding in plain sight.

It started with a FaceTime call about tablet time and ended with me missing everything happening at home.
