Original caption
“What am I carrying right now?” His answer was something I think a lot of dads will understand. There are things we carry every day that our kids may never see. Pressure. Responsibility. Guilt. The constant thought that maybe we could be doing more or doing it better. And sometimes we carry it so long that it just becomes normal. That’s why I love what Dad, Pick Up. is becoming. We’re not looking for perfect answers. We’re giving dads a moment to stop, think, and say out loud some of the things we usually carry quietly. And maybe another dad listening realizes he’s not the only one. Dad, Pick Up. ☎️ Real dads. Real questions. Honest answers. #DadBuilt #DadPickUp #Fatherhood
