That is wisdom and it gives me a better answer as well. Keep writing. - You haven't failed. You've just arrived at the most important moment of fatherhood: humility.

The best fathers are not the flawless ones; they're the ones who are willing to repent, repair, and re-engage. The difference between a father who fails and a failing father is not perfection—it's presence and persistence.

Your regret is proof that you care. The fact that you're grieving means your heart is alive. Dead hearts don't feel conviction.

Remember: your identity is not in your failures, but in your Heavenly Father.
