Granpa is so weak now. His voice hasn’t lost any of its volume nor his conversational responses their curtness. His body is letting him down. I’m sure it’s difficult for anyone to watch their body fail. I imagine it’s especially tough for a man. Us men – who are hardwired for protecting, providing, and wearing…

It’s surreal seeing my cousins older and with grown up children. This trip to Hartford has been an awesome time warp. It’s been a fun ride. I don’t know if I’ll see my mother on this trip. I’d like to. I’d like to know she’s ok.

I want to see my family and my first home under better circumstances. I would’ve liked to. I’m going to Hartford, CT with my grandmother to bury her son. The son she and my grandfather outlived. My mother’s little brother. The uncle who was only 13 years older than me but still a father figure…

I was a long day preparing documents for the Voc Rehab Program. The literature on the program reads like it’s extremely promising. But the process of getting approved feels like preparing for family court. ..hmm I really thought I’d have something positive today. Well, I kinda do. A friend called me today about some work…

I got to talk about Candid Dad today with my dad – specifically about the intent, message, and people it will help. I got to layout the reasons it’s going to be a huge factor in how children view parenting. We talked about the what and that the how will take care of itself. I…
