We all sometimes get stuck into situations that are beyond our control. It’s the dad’s who know how to “fix” them that are heros in my book.

Yes, this is a good post, Brett. I know how it feels to be the parent who broke her child’s heart over expectations. You found the empathy centre of my heart.

This is such a touching snapshot of fatherhood. Thanks for sharing.

My secret goal is to get you to write a book and let me take all the credit for it.
