Children: Our most valuable natural resource.
Growing Up Without a Dad
Growing up without a dad leaves a space you notice even before you can name it. It is not always about what is missing materially. It is about guidance, reassurance, and the quiet sense that someone is always there to support you. Children notice absence even when adults try to soften it or explain it away. They notice empty chairs at birthdays, missed celebrations, and unanswered questions about who they are and where they belong.

In recent years, more people are raising children alone. Sometimes it is a deliberate choice. Other times it is the result of loss, separation, abandonment, or the need to leave an unsafe situation. Society often debates the decision itself, asking whether it was chosen or forced, as if that distinction determines whether the emotional weight is valid.

Blue Room 🛏️
Loneliness has never been about being alone. I have felt it in crowds, in homes full of family, in rooms buzzing with voices. It is not the silence of solitude I know—it is something older, deeper, stitched into my chest. It is a weight in my stomach, a tightness around my heart, a companion that clings when I try to laugh or speak or reach for someone. It has been with me since I was a child, a shadow from the very beginning.
