Charlie, you are also a son-in-law. I am proud to have you as a husband to my daughter, a father to my granddaughter, and I love you as a son.

What a moving piece, Charlie. It really struck a chord for me, because I've been reflecting on the ways in which some of us experience unkind things at the hands of our parents, which might just be a reflection of the ways in which they are unkind to themselves..

I find it hard to find meaningful articulations of self-care that resonate (beyond the bath bombs and the eat something delicious, as you say). This was one of the most poignant I've read.
