Truthful things, moments of clarity...

Dear Nicky,

I can be pretty uninspired a lot, quite lazy most of the time. I wonder if I'm doing enough for you to help you and it makes me feel inadequate and overwhelmed. I wish I were a better father for you, and for your sister. Sometimes I bemoan my state, but other times the veil lifts from before my eyes and I see that my life is far, far better for having my two children in it. You honor me by your being.

Love,
Dad
