The Mommy Where's My Dad Origin Story

Navigating the journey of raising a child can be complex. As a parent, you know you're steering the ship and that every decision, each moment and all the lessons you teach will shape your child's path.

When I stepped into parenthood myself, I was often consumed by fear and I questioned whether or not I could give my son everything he deserves. But over time, I built a strong circle of support around us - family, friends, teachers, my community - and embraced the idea of my village walking this path alongside me.

Of course, there were some challenges I needed to work through on my own. I taught William that although his "hero" could not prevent him from experiencing loss, she would be there to remind him of all the wonderful moments of his life that give him joy. He also learned that her village is his village too.

However, I struggled to find books that made the notion easier for my son to understand, so I began writing down the conversations we shared. Over several months, those discussions gradually became a collection of pages that held the tough answers I'd given to someone whose heart I never want to break.

I believe that every child should develop a secure attachment and experience consistent love from those closest to them, something that's especially important for our future gentleman to experience. And so, to all the the children of the world, may our love surround you with trust and security, and protect your innocence always.

When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to these." Mark 10:14
