Hey, y’all.
I’m going to take some time away from these Sad Dad Diaries. That’s probably a little absurd considering it’s only been a few weeks, but the reality is that dealing with my dad’s death while raising a kiddo, working full-time, trying to write and maintain a house and whatever else we all have going on has taken a beating on me. I thought holding myself accountable to these weekly reflections would help me navigate the craziness that is parenthood, and I think it will one day, but losing my own dad was a curveball I just haven’t come to terms with. It’s lingered over everything else in a way that’s worn me out.
I’ve enjoyed writing these posts, reflecting on what it means, involves to raise a kid in today’s world, and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading them. I imagine I’ll be back in your inboxes at some point. I just need to give myself a rest right now.
Cheers, y’all. Thanks for being here.
Adam
