Comedian Roy Wood Jr. once shared an observation about being a dad that lives rent free in my head: "It's a weird thing when you get to be more of a father to your child than your father was to you. The hardest thing you have to let go of when you make a choice to be present in your child's life and be there is that you're fighting this battle of being happy to be a father while also being sad for yourself in that you didn't get this. I remember when I played catch with my son for the first time, I almost cried in front of him because I just never did that with my pops. He was gone. So, you're being present as a father while also trying not to be jealous of your kid but you're the reason you're jealous, so it's your fault."
