MIND THE GAP.

I have no idea what to do as a dad.

And the main reason is because I never had a dad.

What I had instead.

Was a gap.

Eyes Closed Shut.

I am mindful of this gap.

And what I mean by that.

Is that I think about the gap.

I think about and try to imagine what advice a dad might have given me about becoming a dad myself.

I think about and try to imagine what experiences that I might have had with a dad.

Experiences that would guide me once I myself became one.

And I have to say that the thinking and the imagining does have some merit.

As I picture things.

Eyes closed shut.

With a smile on my face.

Dads.

Michael Jordan’s dad.

According to Michael Jordan.

(And let’s face it.

A son or daughter’s description of a dad is the most important of all in many ways).

Was:

He was the voice of reason.

He drove me.

He challenged me.

And these few words are useful to me, actually.

As I try to learn.

About dadness.

My dadness.

Mind The Gap.

I have no idea what to do as a dad.

And the main reason is because I never had a dad.

What I had instead.

Was a gap.

But I have come to realise that wherever I have a gap.

There is an opportunity.

There is an opportunity to put my imagination to work.

To imagine anything I like.

And I do believe that if I imagine it.

Eyes closed shut.

With a smile on my face.

I can be it.
