“The thing that’s been really difficult is the father part of it all,” Babbitt said. “Like, my job is to protect everyone and provide for them, so I feel like I protected them in the sense that we got out of there. Now, the next step of what we do is a really big challenge. It’s a really tough spot to be in, and I’ve come across it with a lot of other dads.”
you guys ever been part of a disaster before? it fucking *sucks*. It's the most unsorted and uncertain you'll ever feel in your life.
as a dad, you'll pass that feeling on to your kids, because it's written on your face. as a kid, you are just aimless, trying to find waypoints. so any version of normalcy you can stake a claim on feels lifechanging.
