I missed a day so we get two today.
To the dads who feel exhausted in ways no one sees who carry the weight of providing, protecting, and staying strong even when they’re breaking inside this is for you. You are not weak for feeling overwhelmed. You are human. You show up every day with love in your heart, even when your mind is tired and your spirit feels worn down. Your kids may not understand the sacrifices you make right now, but one day they will feel them in the way they stand taller, love deeper, and believe in themselves because you never gave up. It’s okay to pause. It’s okay to ask for help. Strength isn’t silence it’s choosing to keep going, even when the road feels lonely. You don’t have to have all the answers today. Just being present, trying again, and staying in the fight makes you the father your children need. You matter. Your effort matters. And even on the days you feel like you’re failing, your love is still shaping lives in ways you can’t yet see.
