Jessica, this is the most important thing I’ve read in some time. As a father, nothing guides my actions and intentions more than my daughter. At 12, her mind is as sharp as her soul is deep. It’s a series of continuous course adjustments. Parenting the best you can. Building your child into a solidly good human. There’s not a lot easy about it and you can’t sit still for long but there is also abundant joy. Thank you for sharing this and also thank you for your service. It’s clear you have reservoirs of courage. Great job!
