re: Coworker of mine is getting a divorce

Mine were 2.5 years old and 9 months old when my soon-to-be ex-wife told me she wanted a divorce. First few months were pretty damn tough. Fortunately my mom and aunts have been there to help me and my kids. It’s gotten much easier/better. Obviously it’s still challenging at times, but it really is awesome getting to spend so much quality time with my kids. I’m also grateful that my kids get so much quality time with their grandmother too.

Adapt, improvise, and overcome. Have to be strong and be there for the kids. There is no greater honor and responsibility than that. It’s my duty and failure is not an option.

Here’s to the other single dads out there. Keep up the good work for your kids’ sake.
