Emotional wreck
Hi guys,
I'm just gonna splur this here. Back in 2016 I first became a dad. My boy, born at 28 weeks, passed after 3 days. It was a huge step for me to even think about having another child. Running from grief seemed to be the only way. 4 years later, I decided to face the pain and tried everything to overcome that void. In 2024 my daughter was born. She's my world. The joy in my life. My sunshine. If anything would happen to her, I don't know what I'll do.
She created an extreme soft spot in my heart. Can't read news articles which involves the hurting of children. Can't see movies where children are hurt.
Right now I'm watching a specific episode of Netflix's One Piece. Oh boy... Anything parenthood related weighs heavy.
