I have been called many things over the years. Some of them very appropriate, even if negative, and some of them just noise. One of the best titles I have attained is Dad. I really liked being called Daddy, but Dad has this familiarity to it, an essence of calm and trust, a maturity to it that Daddy doesn’t have. As of today, my daughter Harper is 7 and my son Atlas is 3. Incidentally, even though unplanned, that is the same age difference between my sister and I, and she is older too!
