As much as I want to tell a story of how grand epiphanies of love occur, everything just felt right—like everything was in place. That was the moment I knew I wanted to propose.
As a father, I see how children need to have reliable, well-meaning adults who can provide explanations and insights to help them navigate their experiences and emotions. My constant aspiration is that I will always be that adult for my sons.
