Gorgeous humanity. I'm so glad you are Olaf's dad and the the biker is okay and that you are one of America's scribe's describing the beauty and the disaster in this moment when we need you--someone just like you--so badly. Love you.

Garrett! This was really a wonderful read and it resonated for me generally and even in some of the specifics. There have been many times in the past 10-ish years (my oldest kid is a 2012) where being a parent has been the catalyst for me to close the gap between who I was at the time, who I thought I was, and who I wanted and needed to be. I still don't feel like a grown-up, and my working theory is that as long as I am still growing I never will.
