hi, i'm cristian!
Hi there, and thanks for stopping by! I’m a proud dad of two teenage boys, and this blog is where I’ll be sharing pieces of our journey together. Life with teens is a rollercoaster—equal parts laughter, chaos, heart-to-hearts, and our conversations often turn to some of the most random things!
I don't fit the traditional mold as a dad. You see- while both my kids are biological, I'm gay... I had them the traditional way, but have raised them to know me and their 'papa' who passed away in 2018. Moms were never part of the picture. Being a gay dad adds another layer to our story, though it hasn't really shaped the way I parent, the lessons I teach my sons, and the values we hold as a family—like honesty, kindness, resilience, and pride in who we are, are all founded deep inside me, and are engraved in me no matter what my sexual orientation is.
My hope is that this space feels like a welcoming to you, maybe even inspiring, as I shed light on my life, unfiltered.
