I’m working on chapter 1 and curious if ppl have a phrase they resonate with more. I think much of society expects men to being mostly emotionless, besides anger, resulting in lack of emotional literacy. I might call this being a rock or her rock. Is a phrasing that feels more familiar?

We were 2.5 weeks postpartum with twins on mothersday, I wish I’d used all those moments of playing chess on my phone and scrolling to create more to honor Alyssa but here we are. I asked/told her I’d complete the project I wanted to make her for fathers day, and since we had so little capacity on mothersday, we’ll make this a joint parenthood celebration. She has been a clinical research associate and she went to her first industry conference back in December during second trimester. (She didn’t take any pics) and I watched her come back with a glow of joy being in her profession as the study she’s been working on is called paradigm and is changing the baseline protocol for how doctors will treat Acute Meyloid Luekemia. It’s a framed collage with her badge and lanyard and the presentation slides for the conference. And nodding the work she has put in and the impact the study will have.
