Thank you.

Being a good Dad really matters to me. I actually try, and I actually work on getting things right or getting better at being a parent.

Being a good husband mattered to me too.

My daughter had a counselling appointment last week, and told the counselor that when she woke up scared, or woke up because she had a night time bed wetting accident, or whatever when she was little, she always came to my side of the bed because she knew I'd get up and look after her. She and I have a ton of stories and songs we've made up together. Literally hours and hours of them, which also means we have a ton of inside jokes. I used to lay in bed with her at bedtime and sing old folk songs, and old rock songs, and we'd make up stories about the lyrics of those songs that incorporated the toys in her room.
