Happy Father’s Day, Andrew. Incredible piece. Perhaps your next book was waiting for you to become a dad first.

Awesome Andrew! My son is now 38 and your writing evokes similar thoughts of mine from decades past. The songs that spoke to me about my relationship with my son as he developed, differ from yours, but continue to speak to me decades later. Valor is lucky to have you as his Dad. -Jeff

Every day is Father's day, with Valor in your heart.

Watching the video (4 times already) brings home your words and what you are leaving behind on your morning commute and what JOY you come home to at the end of the day. BLessings, Andrew!
