Nurturing isn’t natural to me…..It’s something I have had to learn to be…Softer and gentler, but still not soft and gentle….Trying to be a good father and not scar her mental….She will learn I can’t always protect her and she will have some scar tissue….The plan isn’t to to endure but thrive….Live and be alive, not just living and waiting to die….I won’t be there to wipe away every tear, but I hope I instill and indomitable will….Never feed her a fantasy, I give her what’s real…She won’t be wasteful, she’ll finish her meal.
