Two days ago Eleanor showed me a couple videos from the old family blog. The videos reminded me of how great blogging can be for preserving important memories.
Right now we are living through a crazy time: coronavirus has shut everything down. In fact, all public schools in Virginia are shut down for the rest of the school year! That means Eleanor completed her freshman year in high school and Alice is no longer in elementary school!
I have so much to say about how our lives have changed in the last 18 months but I am hesitant to use the blog as a forum for doing so. So much of what transpired was sad, even terrible. However, it is finally clear to me that I survived. And the girls survived as well. Maybe I can use the blog as a way of documenting who we are now? A year ago, I had no idea who I was. Other than a kick-ass dad, I still do not know a lot about myself.
But I had no idea how to be a parent when I started blogging 13 years ago. So perhaps I should document my search as part of documenting my life as a parent.
