The honest truth about fatherhood, loss, masculinity, and rebuilding yourself when no one’s watching.
Most men don’t talk about it.
Some don’t know how.

“No man stands taller than when he stoops to help a child.”

This isn’t a parenting blog.
There are no “10 hacks to be a better dad” here.
No perfect routines.
No curated moments.

- Grieving parents who shaped you and then disappeared
- Carrying responsibility without applause
- Being strong without pretending you’re fine
If you’ve ever felt invisible as a man or a father, you’re in the right place.
