Fatherhood, Where the DADS at?

[3lginDaddy]

Being a father is the most important thing in my life. I see everybody making threads, but nobody really engaging in them, so I wanted to make this thread for all the dads in the Beautiful Mind community—for everybody to share memories, pictures, and stories of them and their little ones. I know the internet can be a weird place with some messed-up people, but this place feels safe enough to share and be open.

I’ll go first:

I’m a single dad, and this is me and my son on his 4th birthday. He had a traumatic brain injury at birth, which left him with very little brain function. When I became a father, I put all my dreams on hold because my son needed me—and I don’t regret it one bit. He’s 6 now and gonna be 7 in June.

I’ve never experienced traditional fatherhood in the sense of having a healthy, typical kid, but I still take pride in being a dad. So what about y’all—what’s the best part of being a father to you?

Not a father yet, but will be in a few months. Excited to see all the memories and stories everyone posts, hopefully I'll have some of my own to post soon!
