Thank you for being findable and for writing the words to live by. With schedule in hand, I see you. Continue to swing for the fence. Happy Father’s Day!
This is both amazing writing and a deeply touching reflection. Great job my friend...I love the use of visuals to help tell the story. Honor to be a part of your tribe. #DadGang
For us Fathers who were born in the 60s & 70s, I think we understand more than our Fathers that Fatherhood is truly a life long journey and process, and not an overnight destination or a few special moments in time. Fatherhood requires stamina in the form of obsession and mastery, and an accountability to figure-it-out no matter what. Fathers who create value in their children’s lives “overstand” that if it means something to you and your children, then you find a way, and if it doesn’t then you find an excuse!
Appreciate you being vulnerable and sharing your perspective. And Happy Father’s Day my guy and salute to your lifelong Fatherhood journey… “What is left to me is quieter and harder. To stay reachable. To be easy to find for anyone whose road ever bends back this way, and to carry no grievance for how long the road takes.” I appreciate you always being there for yours and others, and keeping the lights on (reachable) like a loving and compassionate Father!!
Thank you Que. You 100% interpreted the complexity and beauty of being born at a generational shift and era. Out of this time period we get introduced to “Latch Key Kids” where many of us became afterschool chefs with the microwave. I am a proud member of this illustrious gang. It was this precious time period from 3pm-7pm that many habits were formed that shaped us forever. I used that time to organize my sports cards, read album liner notes and watch “Edge of Night.” Kind of makes sense I do what I do for a living. When it came time for me to become a father, I recognized at 28 and a young dad with an expense account that true “success” and being a “baller” meant I could leave my office on 55th and Madison by 1pm and be on a soccer field at 330pm in Montclair NJ coaching kids to shoot many balls in one 🥅 You and are from a generation and industry where that wasn’t the norm but those of who chose that path are a special fraternity. I have always seen that in your leadership at home. Salute to you King, for the family you so intentionally built.
Thinking about you today, Shane. First, Father's Day without your dad, I'm sure, is really heavy. I know. For what it's worth, your dad was one of the fathers I looked to in high school when I didn't have one of my own around. The kind of man your dad was is a guy who leaves a mark on more people than he ever knew. Heart to you and your brothers.
