One thing about being a #MidpointDad—I’m always doing the math. How old will I be when she’s 16? 21? 30? I pray I’m there for every big moment. Being a dad later in life makes every year feel like a gift I don’t take for granted. #DadLife #GirlDad


One hand holds a baby. The other steadies an aging parent. Some days I feel stretched thin. But then I remember—God fills the gap between where I am and what they need. #SoulfulSunday #SandwichGeneration #MidpointDad #CaregiverFaith


I pray for wisdom daily. Not just to teach her how to walk or talk— But how to love well, forgive fully, and walk humbly with God. #SoulfulSunday #GirlDad #FaithAndFatherhood #MidlifeMinistry


Before the house wakes up… Before the baby cries… Before the texts and tasks begin… I sit in the quiet and say, “Thank you, God. For this messy, beautiful, blessed life.” #SoulfulSunday #MidpointDad #GratitudeAndGrace


Just got asked if I was my daughter’s grandfather—for the first time. I knew it would happen eventually. I just wasn’t expecting it today. Guess I look my age… even if I don’t feel it. #MidpointDad #TruthfulTuesday #SandwichGeneration


It’s hard being in the middle. But maybe that’s exactly where God wants me— Bridging generations, carrying love forward, and trusting Him with the weight I can’t carry alone. #SoulfulSunday #CaregiverLife #FatherhoodAfter40 #FaithAndFamily


Most men my age are preparing to let go. I’m just learning how to hold on. Holding her tiny hand reminds me: It’s never too late to start something beautiful. #MidpointMonday #MidpointDad #FatherhoodAfter40 #GratefulHeart #GirlDad


Some weeks I feel like I have nothing left to give. Then I’m reminded: God gives strength to the weary and peace to the overwhelmed. That’s been enough to keep me going. #SoulfulSunday #FatherhoodAfter40 #MidpointDad #FaithOverFear


That moment when your baby falls asleep on your chest… And your back gives out. So you just lay there. Forever. Because waking her up hurts more than your spine. #MidpointDad #DadHumor #ParentingAfter40 #FunnyFriday #GirlDad


Friday night hits different at 50 with a toddler. Used to be: Happy Hour. Now: Bubble bath, board books, and blackout by 8:30 (me, not the kid). #MidpointDad #FridayFunny #ParentingAfter40


I used to build IKEA furniture for apartments I’d outgrow. Now I’m building cribs and playhouses for a little girl who changed everything. The pieces are smaller. The instructions still make no sense. But the purpose? That’s never been clearer. #MidpointDad #GirlDad


I convinced my mom to take her meds using the same voice I use with my toddler. For a moment, I feared it was disrespectful— Then I realized: they share the same vulnerability, fear, and need for gentleness. It broke my heart and opened it wider. Compassion bridges generations.…


I became a dad at 50. It wasn’t part of the original plan… But neither was discovering that the best version of me was still waiting to show up. #MidpointMonday #MidpointDad #FatherhoodAfter40 #LateDadCrew


“Train up a child in the way he should go…” – Proverbs 22:6 I used to think that verse was about them. Now I see—it’s shaping me, too. #SoulfulSunday #MidpointDad #Proverbs226 #LateInLifeDad #FaithJourney


One of my favorite ways to slow down: A stroller walk with my toddler. She soaks in the world. I pop in an earbud—music, podcast, audiobook. She’s content. I recharge. Simple moments like this? They carry us. You should try it. #SlowDownSaturday #MidpointDad #GirlDad


I might be older, sleep-deprived, and out of shape… But when my little girl laughs, none of that matters. Her joy resets everything. I’m reminded how lucky I am to be her dad. #ThankfulThursday #MidpointDad #GirlDad #GratefulHeart #FatherhoodAfter40
