This has strengthened our relationship so much and his lore is always insane. Dads always be doing the most random shit, but no one ever asks them about it. Since i've been asking my dad more about his day to day he gets so excited to tell me about all of the random things he's trying and learning. It's precious.

It has been the greatest thing to become a girl dad. Iāve been able to be more available than my dad has ever been able to be ā thatās not a dig at him, heās always been an incredible dad but he worked and worked and worked for us to have a better life. I donāt think he ever learned how to brush my sisterās hair, something I get to do every day. I donāt think he ever bought groceries with one of us during the middle of the day, something thatās a part of my weekly routine. I am realizing that the guilt that comes with being the oldest child of an immigrant, that inner pressure and need to succeed, might not have anything to do with my career but everything to do with my ability to be the dad my father could never be: available and open and involved.
My dad was incredible for the few hours a day I got to see him after he got home from work and that sacrifice allowed me to build a career thatās flexible enough to be a stay-at-home parent. Iāll never be able to thank him enough for that.
I know there are some parents here (happy late Motherās Day / early Fatherās Day) who get this, and some who will get this soon enough. Be the parent you wished your parents could have been. And if you were lucky to have amazing parents like I was, try to be even better than them.

I may not have always had the best relationship with my mother but Iām lucky to have had a doting silly goofy stay-at-home working artist dad who would do anything for me. He taught me everything I know, made me go hiking especially when I didnāt want to, and encouraged me in all of my artistic pursuits! Happy Fatherās Day š«¶

That freshly-showered feeling, chuckling to yourself when something weird happens, marveling at the colors of fresh produce at the grocery store, the rhythmic sounds of morning traffic ~~ livin your life like an ephemeral novel youāre writing and rewriting in your head
