The truth is I have no
or parental bone in
My body. My parenting skills
Are imperfect, inadequate, &
Made up on the fly. I don’t need
An invented commercial day to
Celebrate how hard we work to
Make this family function as
Well as it can. All we want
Is for all the others to be happy.
Sometimes it works, & often
It doesn’t & hurts instead.
What I really want is to be a
Person who cares, not a parent
Put into some compartment that
Says old & tired & past it.

Eternal admiration
Paternal courage

I see an active force of creation with the power of and , knowing itself as with the maternal might of beingness.
This is my .

The demons roam the hallways
Of your haunted mind,
A house of memories
Birthed from your lack of love and light -
A family destroyed
In the deafening absences
That you called providing in fatherhood,
But you failed to act as a father would
As a father should
As only
a father
could.

I grew strong from your disconnection
The lack of love fueling my flame
And as I hold your hand closely,
I whisper my final mournings:
You
Are not allowed
To haunt me
When you are
Gone.

After having done a PhD about in new world monkey, this first paper of my postdoc started 20 years of long-term studies on striped mice pumilio.

For me it was most important to show that in this species paternal care also occurs in the field, not only in the lab!

However, & I’ve thought about this quite a bit, they are f£%d too as one thing you can count on w/ is
