Sorry for being absent from writing new material for the blog in recent weeks. My health issues have resurfaced and I will be out of pocket for several months undergoing treatment. My writing efforts recently have been focused on writing my son a sort of manifesto on how to live a good life as a man in case I’m not there to do it in person. It’s a morbid exercise, but necessary if I want to guarantee my son can read my words in my voice.
It’s been a useful exercise that I suggest everyone does. Write down what you stand for, what you believe, what is important, and how you would tell your children the way to live a fulfilling and successful life (whatever that is to you).
I might post sporadically, but probably will wait until the flip side. Thanks for reading.
Protect the Brood and Cherish Your Time with Them,
Defensive Daddy (Mark Luell)
Continued thoughts and prayers for you, brother.
Good luck, Mark!
