Fatherhood, at least in those early years, is one long

Tension between trying to be helpful and guarding against

Disastrous consequences that result from leaving your

Baby unattended. It is a game of middle grounds, as you

Drop everything so your toddler doesn’t fall on his crown

While simultaneously bending down to lift his little

Frame off the leaf ridden, dirty ground. Fatherhood

Means that you don’t get too comfortable because

Comfort is where complacency begins; it is where seams

Come undone and selfishness wins.
