One of the things I was told when I stopped drinking was that there was a chance that maybe someday I would become a good father.

I became a father years later. My children have never seen me drink.

My children are some of my most cherished gifts from God.

I have always tried to be present for my children, listening to them and trying to understand how they were navigating their lives.

They have taught me more than I have ever taught them. Now they’re trying to parent me.

Perhaps I have been a good father.

 

God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
