Fatherly

Making and capturing memories is one of the unspoken duties of a parent. We promise to take videos and photos of the important moments — the first words, the first steps, the first bike rides — and the everyday ones, too: the messy face at dinner, the bedtime cuddle, the sweet moment between siblings. We remember the old saying, the days are long but the years are short and vow to enshrine as many moments as possible before they’re gone. But, take it from dads who’ve been there: You might lose sight of how quickly your child grows out of a phase or simply not realize what current moments will be worth saving until it’s too late. So snap a photo and take that video for your family. Just be careful of what you decide to put on social media.
