You act like Maury needs to come out of retirement just to explain your life, but let me make something clear. I don’t care who the sperm donor was or is. That’s not what makes a dad.
What makes a dad is showing up and letting the other person know you’re there consistently. Not when it’s convenient, not when it benefits you, all the time. And that’s where you fall short. You treat presence like it’s optional, like it’s something you can clock in and out of.
Because being there is more than just physical. It’s effort, awareness, actually giving enough to stay. And from where I’m standing, you’ve been absent in ways that don’t show up on a schedule but show up in everything else.
The real difference between you and me, Joe, is I can see. And maybe that’s because Jo had to, because the one forced to understand ends up seeing everything a lot clearer.
You, though, you’re not blind by circumstance. You’re blind by choice. You gave up your sight willingly, just like you gave up me.
And that’s not something you can joke your way out of, because that wasn’t an accident. That was a decision.
I also know the difference between a helicopter and a plane unfortunately for you since you wanted to call me HP I understand both and I PhD myself so let me school you on the real D here and that's the one I have to be now because everybody else chose to be selfish but I'm more than have pics and this time I do get to choose
