Sean Patrick Hughes, I am a father with two elementary school-going “standard-issue” boys. Since the first one was born 11yrs ago, my life mission has changed from taking over the world with a unicorn tech company to just being the best dad to my boys and leaving the earth with two better human replacements in our place.

My heart breaks thinking about how most of us will just read your beautiful, heartfelt story and won’t be able to do a thing to help. It feels wrong not to stand next to a father like you. So many parents are struggling with the suck right now. It is very strange times we are passing now.

You have inspired me to put on my Think-to-Do cap on. I need to find ways to help. I hope others do the same. We are all in this together.

Thanks for your service and more importantly being the best dad to your children.
