SUNDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2024
It's fathers day today.
Triggers me to ponder father related things.
4am Feeling a bit low.
This is weird because all three brisbane children are coming for a row. Even Dan who's not rowed. So it's really nice that they are all making this effort to get together to do something I enjoy.
I'm pondering....
Was I a "good" dad?
I was certainly a failure as a husband. So I ponder what of my mannerisms and behaviours were so bad. I'm trying hard to learn about myself. Somewhat nuro divergent it appears.
DAWN
The rest of Sunday/ Fathers Day was good. Great actually.
7:30 Facilitated Fathers Day Row at Centenary.
So it's Fathers day and at Centenary rowing club we celebrated by making life tough for dads.
This was a fun outing where for just a few minutes, the kids really did know more than the dads.
Big thank you to Lillian for coaching, Peter and Tanya for jumping in a boat with one family and especially to Matthew who jumped in the bow seat to help out a family of 3
Then for fun, to wrap up the day, the 3 of my 4 kids who live in Brisbane joined me for my father's day row.
AFTERNOON
helped Dave with an Aboriginal thing at West End.
That was interesting for me.
The tension in my mind between the wish for autonomy by the indigenous people and my belief that it's pretty much mining that keeps us in this life style.
