I am far from a perfect dad. And I always will be. But I’m a damn good dad, and my son will always feel bigger than anything life can throw at him. Why? Because I get it.

I think I went through everything anyone who had a long career needed. I needed quiet. I needed to raise my children. ↗

The first half of our lives are ruined by our parents and the second half by our children. ↗

The origin of the absurd idea of immortal life is easy to discover; it is kept alive by hope and fear, by childish faith, and by cowardice. ↗
