Dear Wife,

a Sunday record of what happened, what I thought about, and what I noticed. Kept slowly, on purpose, so the picture of a life stays clear when we don't talk every day.

Most recently, July 26, 2026, week 30.

Week 29

I do not know yet whether this is peace, or the price of peace.

weekly, medication, calm, identity2 min

Week 28

The roof was not the only thing missing. The standards and the pressures I put on myself were not up there either.

weekly, freedom, travel, therapy2 min

Week 27

Three people who have never met, one message. Maybe it's like this, maybe it's not. But I've stopped pretending I'm not being told something.

weekly, faith, healing, fatherhood3 min

Week 26

The dread tells me the future is uncertain, and it is right. But sitting next to you asleep, I found the one thing it cannot touch.

weekly, anxiety, marriage, rest3 min

Week 25

My lottery fantasy is so unambitious. No yachts. Just a life where tomorrow is not a threat. Not wealth — the absence of fear.

The way I know you

I want to write this for you so I can remember you: how good you are as a person, the things I love about you, and why I hope you never stop being who you are.

What breaks are for

I've always resisted the idea that people need breaks just to escape their lives. But I think I misunderstood something. There is a difference between loving your life and stepping outside of it for a while.
