© A Better Father
Description
I am a single father. A vegan for health, environment and animal safety reasons. I read, write, podcast and blog to be a better person and a better father (huh?huh?). Follow me in my journey as this life gets lived moment by moment, day by day. You are not alone. Even though we all feel it from time to time, that's okay. Come here and know you are not alone.

Podcast inspired from a quote by Leo Tolstoy
Prepare your kids for when it comes, because no matter what it is the one thing that will, for sure, positively happen in their lives.
As they change and deal with the differences between two houses, or two differing view points, stay consistent and be true to your values. It will pay off as they grow and develop. This will also help you as you grow and develop. :)
Look at the world through their view. Process differently.
What does memento mori really mean? How does it really impact our lives, our choices, our children?
Do the thing.
