Hey dads. How's your day/week/existence going?

My wife, spontaneously (actually to procrastinate), decided to start sorting through our thousands of saved but unsorted phone pictures of the kids etcetera. Kinda magical to revisit some forgotten moments through the years.

Will make it a hell of a lot easier when I finally get round to picking a handful to send to my own parents. (Specifically curated so that when my mum ends up 'accidentally' putting another one on Facebook I don't have to go too nuclear. Just regular firebombing.)

Hang in there buddy. You and your partner can get through this, and once you do the memory of trouble will fade.

My daughter cottoned on to the fact painting with poop in her bedroom would get our attention after bedtime. That was so, so, so stressful to deal with at the time. Now, we can look back and laugh about it.

It feels like a long time now, but later it will be a snapshot of the time and you all will have so many more happy memories to look back on.

You can get through it. Focus on the little joys, when you can find them.
