Happy Memorial Day,
everybody! And thanks to the many men
and women in service of our country.
I would also like to take this time to acknowledge
another group of people: Single
parents. After doing my best to not be
an ass for the 20 weeks since becoming a father, I cannot fathom trying to do
it alone. This has been one of (if not
THE) hardest thing I have ever done.
One of the things that has made it possible
is having a partner that I can trust to have my back. A wingman to take some of the heat when the
going gets a little too rough. When Von
Bebe is squalling and has been for hours, I know that there is someone I can
count on to give me a break if I need it.
While I am aware that being a parent is a 25 hour a day job, it is a
little easier knowing someone else is in it as deep as I am.
So (as I just pulled an assist with vomit
cleanup on aisle one) I’d like to give a big shout out to all you single
parents. My proverbial hat is off to
you. I don’t know how you did/are doing
it.
