WAIM Radio #037 - Fatherhood [Full Show]
This week at WAIM, we delve deep into an hour on Fatherhood.
This year, my oldest daughter will be the same age I was the year that she was born. I was so very unprepared for fatherhood when it came. In many ways, I was still a child, but the gravity of the situation was not lost on me. I felt terrified and utterly overwhelmed. Little did I know that the feeling would never really go away.
The other sensation that has never gone away is the sheer ocean of love that I hold for the two young women that I am lucky enough to call my daughters. More than any other aspect of my life they have pushed me to be more caring, more patient, more kind, and more in the moment during each and every day that they have been a part of my life. I had no idea that the greatest thing I would ever get to be a part was this simple and beautiful.
To celebrate my status as a Dad, and to cheer on Fathers across the spectrum, I have assembled a Cracker Jack hour of tunes on the subject. You’ll find songs of grief, celebration, encouragement, regret, anger, and acceptance. I even threw in an emotional gem of my own from very early in my career.
You can listen to the full show in the player above. Also be sure to check out the full tracklist to see everything that made the show.
Cheers,
