@Billy Derksen I owe you an apology. I thought I replied to your word and didn't. I think my beginnings of pneumonia a few days ago affected my memory! As a result, I'm deviating from my normal short snarky comment and have created a framework with the letters of your word. Intrigued has a curious, open-hearted feel to it, and for you I am building this one around the roles that matter most: husband, father of four, and proud Canadian. Here is your INTRIGUED framework for being a good father, husband, and Canadian: I โ Involved: Show up for the small moments, the school runs, the bedtimes, the ordinary evenings. Being there is most of the job, and your family feels it. N โ Nurturing: Tend to the people under your roof, your wife and your four kids, so each one knows they are safe, supported, and loved. T โ Tender: Strength and gentleness belong together. A soft word and a patient tone teach your children more than any lecture ever could. R โ Reliable: Be the steady one your family can count on. When your word holds, your home feels secure. I โ Invested: Pour yourself into your marriage and your kids the way you would anything you truly care about, because this is the thing that matters most. G โ Grateful: Carry gratitude for your family and your country. A thankful heart has a way of making a good life feel even fuller. U โ Unifying: Be the one who brings everyone together, around the table and through the rough patches. A family, like a country, is stronger united. E โ Easygoing: Keep a sense of humor and a long fuse. With four kids, the days that go sideways are often the ones you will laugh about later. D โ Dependable: Be the rock at home and a good neighbor beyond it, that quiet, decent, lend-a-hand spirit that Canadians are known for.
