We are ready to go. The sun is shining and it’s a good day. Happy Father’s Day to the Dad’s and Father figures loving and caring for our kids 🩷

05/09/2026

Father’s Day can bring joy, gratitude, grief, complicated memories — or a mix of all of them.
This year, I have written a personal reflection about the everyday things that make a dad: the quiet ways they show up, the laughter they create, and the love children carry with them long after the moment has passed.
I have also shared a little about my own dad — a fisherman, generous neighbour, devoted family man, wearer of towelling hats, and owner of the famous “crab-claw” toes.
If you are celebrating, remembering, missing, or simply reflecting this Father’s Day, I hope this one speaks to you.

A warm Father’s Day reflection on the everyday importance of involved dads and father figures, alongside loving memories of a generous, funny fisherman dad.

It’s been a little while since I’ve written a blog, and this one was a hard one to write. 💗

A little reflection on grief, love, and all the familiar places where I still find myself looking for my beautiful Ophelia — my recovery cat. 🐾

The Places I Still Look For Her

I did not think of myself as a cat person. Then Ophelia came along.
