For the first time, someone unsubscribed. I wonder what it was. Alas the shepherd (temporarily) abandons 99 of his flock to search the one who has gone astray. But to unsubscribe is curious.
Your writing on this fills me with grief and anxiety which demonstrates your talent. I see the future as a wall of emptiness that is rapidly approaching as my children become adults.
It started with small things like them no longer wanting to hold my hand as I walked them to school. Now, we are discussing college and of course how far away they are going to move from me. I know that is the nature of how things work in the modern world, but a man who truly loves his kids and loves being a father laments such things. I want to hold them as babies forever.
This is so beautiful and aching, that it makes my heart sigh but my soul smile. Again, Daniel McAdams shows what a thoughtful and poignant poet he really is. God bless him.

“As a depressive most will not understand the pain that goes with pleasure.” My dear friend Daniel, we do understand. Savor every precious moment. ❤️
My daughter is six and this shook me awake, man.

Just wait though...when they are adults, something even more tangible and special materializes. Beautifully written!
