The Mommy,Where's My Dad Origin Story
When I stepped into parenthood, I carried a quiet worry: Will I be enough? I wanted to raise a child who feels safe, loved, grounded, and confident—even when life gets tough. Some days, that responsibility felt heavy, and I wondered how I could do it all on my own.
Over time, I learned I wasn’t meant to. I built a circle of support around us—faith, family, friends, teachers, and community and I began to see what so many families discover: love doesn’t come from just one place. It comes from a village.
There were still hard moments to walk through especially those involving loss, absence, or questions without easy answers. I wanted my child to know that even when someone we love isn’t present, we can still hold on to what remains steady: the people who show up, the and all of the wonderful moments in life that bring joy.
However, I struggled to find books that made the notion easier for my son to understand, so I started writing down the conversations we shared. Over several months, those collection of pages became Mommy, Where’s My Dad? a gentle story to help families talk about big feelings, and to remind every child: you are not alone, and your village is real.
