Dead wives get promoted to sainthood.

Reason #3 to Read I’m Only a Good Daddy Because Your Mommy Died

She didn't die so I could grow. She died because she died.

March 29, 2026November 4, 2026 / Daddy

People are human. People mean well. People still suck.

My Favorite Line In The Book

My wife isn't coming back from the dead. She isn't a vampire.

Want to know when I write again?

New letters every Monday. Don't hold me to that. If there isn't a letter EVERY Monday, I'm fine. Luciana is fine. Everybody's fine. I'm just lazy and probably have other priorities. Like taking care of my daughter.
