Apple just released its worst product launch video ever. It’s the same exhausted stereotype that Americans are sick of: marriage is miserable, children are unbearable, and Dad is an idiot. Apple’s new HomeView commercial brings back that tired “sitcom version” of the American family: the bumbling dad nobody respects,... the overbearing mom, and the kids who seem irritated by everyone around them. Everyone lives together. Nobody seems particularly happy about it. We spent years being told this was funny. Watching it now, it just feels sad and depressing. As a father of four, I know family life can be loud, messy, and chaotic. But you can show a hectic morning and still give us the sense that these people love each other. That the parents respect one another. That underneath the noise, this family is on the same team. Instead, irritation seems to be the main thing holding this household together. I think people are exhausted with this portrayal of family life. The husband is another child for the wife to manage. The boss-mom wife is perpetually annoyed. The children are sarcastic and ungrateful. And somehow we’re supposed to find it charming. Maybe in 2017 this was still funny. But in 2026, it’s cringe and tasteless. Show us a husband and wife who actually like each other. Kids who help one another. A family that can laugh together without someone always being the punchline. This is what Americans are craving again. Love. Respect. Normality. There is something deeply appealing about a loving, functional home. Especially in a world where constant division and hostility leave people exhausted and longing for somewhere they belong. Home should be that place. Do better Apple.show more

And the dad is a loser. There are no little kids at home to be watching. Get a job and take care of your family. Plus the wife has no respect for him, she doesn’t even bother to kiss him before she leaves. She’s probably having an affair with a real man

Shawn Eyer19 days ago

Don’t forget the grandparents whose only role is to mock the dad’s beard and say he looks like an actor they hate… in front of the grandkids. Gross. Someone please rescue the poor dog from these losers!

So tired of ads/agenda of making men look weak and befuddled while women going off to work, edgy everything and of course they don’t know who the daughter is dating 🙄

It's on purpose!! It's what they want society to be - a formless, chaotic, exhausting, man-free blob without love or direction, so you DEPEND ON APPLE to give meaning and purpose to life. It's an intentional piece of brainwashing propaganda.

Craziest part is the 13-14 year old just rolls out with some strange person they’ve never heard of and it’s all good.

Would love to see the Christian version of this. Strong loving dad, happy beautiful mom, respectful kids, and everyone functioning as if their lives have a purpose. Tech is used for reminders and the Bible verse of the day, etc. Just sayin… it’s better on our side.

Last Man Standing with Tim Allen was a step in the right direction. Really enjoyed that show. The family had issues between the different characters, but they navigated them together and you could feel that they all loved each other. My wife and I both enjoyed it.

Watch them all freeze as the daughter walks off with a boy. It's weirdly voyeuristic.

I just imagine the greasy, messy screen from everyone in the kitchen touching it. Given the chaos (that's what the ad is selling, after all), who will have time to clean the screen? No one, obviously. Ick. NO. 🤢

Josh Read19 days ago

Couldn't agree more. That ad caused so much anxiety and the product doesn't speak like it would relieve the anxiety. Even more so, your point that Americans are craving Love, Respect, Normality - you nailed it.

Nobody looks miserable. The morning is not abnormal, back in the 60s and 70s we'd all be rushing around to get off to school. In the 2000s my daughter had us running around too. Not miserable, not obnoxious. I assume you don't have kids or you'd realize these are pretty mild kids, slightly snarky with each other in a playful way. The dad, though painted as the stay at home dad, is not an idiot. He made the breakfast, used the apple device, and didn't drop an egg.

mom and dad do not hug, do not kiss, do not say I love you. That’s an intentional choice. They intentionally made their goodbye awkward. Why?

I literally had the exact opposite take. This ad was brilliant and exactly how life feels as a parent. Do you have children? Dad is overwhelmed, yes the wife scheduled an annoying event, but it was light hearted.

Maya Gebala mom Cia posted the following update and video. I know I am not the only one who has been waiting for this day to come.. These kids man.. they message me their loss, their fears, and their love for one another. It is so tangible, you dont have to know them to feel it. The love these kids share for each other is beyond words. Somewhere in our hearts, we can imagine the pain of a parent. A loved one. A teacher. A friend. The loss that lingers around at dinner time. The forcefull push forward that life gives us. The world moves forward, when you stand still and Our relenting existance that forces us to acknowledge that, acceptance is the only move left on the table. Check mate. We can find empathy. We can imagine, the unimaginable. If not anything else, we understand the loss. There isnt enough said though, about the tribe these kids create. That learning themselves through the eyes of each others creates this space of vulnerability that accepts new family. Family isnt only blood. Family is love. When your time is spent with someone that allows you challenge barriers. The accompanying loss of self and stride when they are no longer there to answer the door. The trials, mistakes and "learning opportunities" that sometimes parents cant see through thier eyes. There is your chosen tribe. Abbison, is like a brother to Maya, he hasn't seen hwe since the library. Ailee is her twin.. She has been a fortunate child to have so many people in her life that love and have loved her. These are the ones she was learning life with the most in these past 2 years... finally together again. The people caught in the rip tide of this wave of devastation are the ones I think about the most. The children forced to accept an altered reality that cracks the walls of safety. The ones forced to move on with the memories of what they'd seen. The feeling of sounds and smells that vibrate to the core and send a shiver down their spines. The quiet nights. The feeling that the walls of safety are just as illusive as life itself..

YOKO ONO: ONOCHORD, VENICE, 2004 Yoko: The world is divided in two industries. One is the War Industry and the other is the Peace Industry. The people in the War Industry are totally together. They don't have to talk to each other, even. They know exactly what they want to do. They want to go out there, kill and make money. But the people in the Peace Industry, which are us - we are so idealistic that each one of us criticises the other Peace Person in the Peace Industry. And we are always just arguing and we are wasting our energies doing that. So let's just forgive each other and see that we are in the Peace Industry and that's all that counts. Even if you are not marching for peace, just be yourself, being a florist, being a merchant, being a talior, anything. That way you're contributing to the Peace Industry. People are just concentrating on fear, confusion and anger. And therefore just for a moment, I'd like us to think about Love. In a very magical, straight way, John and I met in London and from then on we stood for Peace and Love. And when I do this kind of event. Well it is... I was inspired to do it, but I still think that I'm still with John in spirit. John and I created the country called Nutopia. Not Utopia, because there was Utopia as a concept already. And we wanted to create a new concept, so we just added N on it - Nutopia - and as a country. Well, that is the concept of a country. And we all are citizens of that country. And in my apartment in the Dakota Building, we put a little plaque on the back door, the kitchen door. It says 'Nutopian Embassy' and even now we have that. (laughs). Nutopia exists in our minds. And because of that, some people want to rebel against it. The reason some want to rebel against it is a good proof that it exists. I think that it was a terrible thing that happened in Chechnya. But we have to still keep our hopes up. And instead of giving up, we have to keep on sending the message of Love to each other. You say that I am the Ambassador of Peace. We are all Ambassadors of Peace. You are too. Everybody in this room are Ambassadors of Peace. Just the fact that we are not participating in War. The fact that we are here, and we are what we are, means that we are in the Peace Industry. All of us. John and I used to say that our apartment in the Dakota is a conceptual monastry, just for the two of us. And when we go out of the Dakota, we get so many people communicating with us, so it's very important that we had silence and quietness. And my apartment is a very small space compared to the world. And I need that for my peace of mind. You should be kind to each other. You should come together, hug each other, love each other, express our love to each other and we should make it work. We should finally create a world that is a totally an Earth for Us. So let's do it.

FAITH AND FAMILY: Speaking at the March for Life, VP Vance delivers a powerful defense of the American family and the "gift" of life: "Today, the far left in this country tells our young people that marriage and children are obstacles, that it's irresponsible, even immoral because of climate change or some other reason to encourage our young people to raise a family." "They tell us that life itself is a burden, but we here at this March, we know that it's a lie. We know that life is a gift. And we know that babies are precious because we know them and we love them."

Sidney Lumet on the theme of "Daniel" (1983): "I don’t know if I’ve ever said this publicly, but I’ve done three movies, 'Daniel' (1983), 'Running on Empty' (1988), and 'Family Business' (1989), that are thematically the same thing—the cost that others pay for one’s passions—and I only recognized this after wards. It really begins with 'Daniel'. As I’ve said so often about 'Daniel', I wasn’t ever denying its political nature, but I was not being disingenuous when I also said it’s the exact same suffering that I’m talking about that kids have when their parents are artists. Any deep emotional commitment on the part of the parents is going to cost something . . . not just to the parents but also almost always to the children. Now, it can be a constructive cost or a destructive one. There are too many factors that go into it for me to try to label it one way or the other but there is no doubt that there is a cost. The positive side—one of the positive sides—is that the kids learn about passion, learn about commitment, learn about a million things that I personally admire. The destructive side is that nobody’s home, even when they’re home. If it’s the father he’s not really there. If it’s the mother, she’s not really there. Maybe there are geniuses who can do it all, but I don’t know who they are. A lot of my friends for some reason are people who have worked in musical comedy, in the theater, and the big joke among the people who write the book and the lyrics and the music is there are two great secrets to doing it, there are two secrets to doing a great musical and nobody knows what they are. And I feel that way about child-raising. There are two great secrets for raising children and nobody knows what they are. When Edgar [E. L. Doctorow] and I were being interviewed and talking to people about 'Daniel' and explaining that passion and commitment doesn’t have to be just about politics, that it can be about a stockbroker, about anybody who has a central source of passion outside of the family itself, people thought that we were trying to deny the political ramifications of the movie. Never! We were just saying that it’s broader than the Communist Party, U.S.A. And I was very bothered by the reception that the picture got, first of all because I felt that the reception was political. I certainly know it was political as far as the New York Times went. When you analyze the movie, when you really look at it from a moviemaking point of view, it’s a brilliant movie. It’s an extraordinary movie. And that was never acknowledged." (Sidney Lumet's interview with Joanna E. Rapf, 2003) P.S: Remembering the legendary American filmmaker Sidney Lumet on his 102nd birthday!

This scene from Love Is Blind shocked me. Emma, one of the contestants who wrestled all season with whether or not she wanted kids, recieved this advice from her sister: "If I lived another life, like I don't regret having my children and I love my children, but if I got to the end of my life and they said, you can do it again, I wouldn't have kids because there's a beautiful thing about living a life for yourself too." Oh my goodness, what a horrible thing to say about your own children. To not feel that sense of gratitude and preciousness over the children you've created, I think is really sad. That just goes to show how important it is to have people around us who affirm life, who love children, and who love family. We can't always control who is in our family and the attitudes they have, but it's really important that we protect our hearts and minds—what we are consuming and the conversations that we're having— to protect ourselves from bitterness towards kids or this wrong mentality that you are entitled to live for yourself. God made us to deny ourselves, to work, to sacrifice, to do really difficult things beyond what we think we're physically and mentally capable of for His glory and the good of other people. This self-centered mentality makes me sad.

This is the most truthful I’ve seen anyone speak about William and Kate and the royal family as a whole. When Harvey Levin told a very quiet Piers Morgan that Americans are starting to realize that the royal family is basically poison. Harry and Megan are in the upswing, because what I’m hearing is people saying, well Meghan was right. It’s impossible being a member of that family. And people who thin that Kate might have had a some kind of a nervous breakdown, they’re looking of what happened to Meghan, they’re looking at what happened to Diana and they’re saying, yeah it’s impossible to live in that family. Meghan’s Harry may be right” And then Harvey eloquently, truthfully dove into the disappointment that William and Kate, how people are watching them use the same old, divisive tactics that family used in the 80s, how people no longer think that the Wales can bring about change. This was a very rare and great tv moment, when someone dared to tell the truth about the British royal family.

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance just NUKED the left for attacking marriage and having children "The far left in this country tells our young people that marriage and children are obstacles, that it's irresponsible, even immoral because of climate change or some other reason, to encourage our young people to raise a family. They tell us that life itself is a burden!" "But we know that it's a lie. We know that life is a gift. We know that babies are precious because we know them and we love them and we see the way that they can transform our families." "We know that family is not just the source of a great joy, but it's part of God's design for men and women, a design that extends outward from the family to our neighborhoods, to our communities, and to the United States of America itself."

Just listened to Erika Kirk on with Sean Hannity, and wow. “We check in with each other every single day, ‘How can I serve you better? What can I do for you to make it better when you get home? Is there anything that you need me to have ready for you?’ He asks me the same thing… You are a team and you guys are not at ends with each other. Work together, communicate, and grow together as an equally yoked partnership.” “He genuinely cared about how he could improve himself as a husband… ‘I wanna serve you because I love you and I wanna make sure that I can be the provider that you need spiritually, emotionally, and every other way with the children.’ We never looked at each other as competing roles… There was no daylight between us.” “We were always in lockstep with the Lord. We were equally yoked when we got married and we remained that way because our full focus and our full through line was the Lord… We had a fire at the covenant when we got married. That was not something that was just, ‘Oh, this is so cute.’ This is a big deal.” “And yes, there is some pain in that is deep pain… but the love that Charlie and I had and still have is something that transcends this world and into heaven. And that’s why I still feel so connected to him.” She’s now carrying forward the last book Charlie poured his life into the same wisdom he lived every day at home: put your phone down, pour into your family, lead with faith, serve the people God gave you. Death tried to silence him. Instead it just handed Erika the megaphone. Their marriage is still speaking. Their covenant is still winning. And every couple who grabs that book and starts asking “How can I serve you better today?” is proof the story isn’t over. The best chapters are still being written.

Just listened to Erika Kirk on with Sean Hannity, and wow. “We check in with each other every single day, ‘How can I serve you better? What can I do for you to make it better when you get home? Is there anything that you need me to have ready for you?’ He asks me the same thing… You are a team and you guys are not at ends with each other. Work together, communicate, and grow together as an equally yoked partnership.” “He genuinely cared about how he could improve himself as a husband… ‘I wanna serve you because I love you and I wanna make sure that I can be the provider that you need spiritually, emotionally, and every other way with the children.’ We never looked at each other as competing roles… There was no daylight between us.” “We were always in lockstep with the Lord. We were equally yoked when we got married and we remained that way because our full focus and our full through line was the Lord… We had a fire at the covenant when we got married. That was not something that was just, ‘Oh, this is so cute.’ This is a big deal.” “And yes, there is some pain in that is deep pain… but the love that Charlie and I had and still have is something that transcends this world and into heaven. And that’s why I still feel so connected to him.” She’s now carrying forward the last book Charlie poured his life into the same wisdom he lived every day at home: put your phone down, pour into your family, lead with faith, serve the people God gave you. Death tried to silence him. Instead it just handed Erika the megaphone. Their marriage is still speaking. Their covenant is still winning. And every couple who grabs that book and starts asking “How can I serve you better today?” is proof the story isn’t over. The best chapters are still being written.

🦖: There was once someone who used to be a fan who loved us, and one day that person said they felt disgusted by us. I can understand that to some extent. It comes from the kind of news they were exposed to and the anger they felt. I myself probably wouldn’t do the same thing that person did to us. 🦖: What I want is for people to look more at the reality of what is happening, what actually occurred between Thailand and Cambodia. And to try to understand it, because in truth, ordinary people like us, and people on the Cambodian side as well, are directly affected by this situation. But this is not something we should be blaming or attacking each other over.

Running this page has opened my eyes to how many racists who hate white people we have living amongst us. It’s disgusting. I see on a daily basis, people in the comments banging on about slavery and colonialism. They don’t realise the luckiest day of their lives was being born in a western democracy. They have lived a life of privilege but like to be a victim. They are angry with white people moving into black countries hundreds of years ago. But perfectly fine with black people moving to white countries in the present day. They call it immigration when it’s them. They are in support of people being able to live wherever they want. Just not when it’s white people. That’s colonialism and it’s evil. They don’t realise they are everything that they hate the colonisers for. They take all the benefits of being here. But still hate us for it. They use history and things that didn’t happen to them as a scapegoat to be openly hateful towards us. In their own mind it justifies their racism so they can still hold the self righteous belief they are a good person. But when I see people like this. It restores my faith in immigration. It’s good to know that this can sometimes be the outcome. Not everyone is selfish and only care about their own race. There are plenty of people who care about us too. Plenty of people see it for what it is and stand by our side and I have nothing but respect for them. I wish everyone was like that. Thank you to this man for speaking out for us and showing common sense. Because when we say this, they call is far right racists and fascists. But in reality we are only human just like anyone else. Only we are taught to just accept this and eat shit and be happy. It’s double standards and this man is bang on it 👏👏

H1B only started in 1990 I personally think it should be completely abolished as we have other programs that bring in skilled workers. It is also of my opinion that mass migration legal and illegal is one of the reasons for the low birth rate as it drives up home prices and lowers wages for Americans Young people are graduating college feeling like they will never be able to own a home or start a family, we seem to be offering up the American dream to the world at the expense of actual Americans who are being robbed of it. I almost didn’t post this video and then saw the conversation to the right.

Robert Kennedy Junior says that the powers that be are jangling the keys of division to distract the American people from the fact that they are buying up Ukraine's farmland and that when he gets into office the payday for BlackRock and Vanguard will be over: "When we give the money to Ukraine we call it a loan. Nobody is going to pay that back. What it does it allows us to put the screws on Ukraine. We sign a contract with them that compels Ukraine to do certain things and one of things is to sell most of its assets for cash, including its farmland. Who do you think the biggest buyer is of that land? Why are we in this war? We know who is making the money from this war. They are doing it right in front of us. The strategy that allows them to get away with it is they keep us all at each others throats. Blacks against whites, Republicans against Democrats, Rural people against urban people. When the rulers of the castle, the king and queen look over the castle wall at the top and see all of their subjects fighting they go back to the dining room and they open champagne and they toast to each other. Because as long as we are all fighting each other we can't see what they are doing. It's like someone who is jangling keys. Look at these keys. And over here they are robbing the bank and nobody is watching them. I have my eye on them. When I get into that office the payday is going to be over for Blackrock and Vanguard."

Junet Mohamed: ODM is still the same, and it still stands for the values that it was founded on. Just because we are in broad-based, there are people who are feeling bad about it; they don’t want us in government. They think that we were born, and it is in the constitution that ODM and its people must be in opposition forever and ever until Jesus comes back. We will not allow that, we are not going to buy that. We will form a government with people who are like-minded, who will respect our values #CitizenExplainer

Most of our major cities are living under a blanket of poisonous air. Millions of children are getting lung diseases, their future is being destroyed, and people are getting cancer. Older people are struggling to breathe. This is an interesting issue because I am certain that there would be full agreement between the government and us on this. This is not an ideological issue; everybody in the House agrees that air pollution—and the damage it is doing to our people—is something we should co-operate on. I think it is important that the government develops a plan to get rid of air pollution in our cities. We are more than happy to co-operate with the government to develop such a plan. On this issue, we can show the country that we can work together on something that is critical. We should have a detailed discussion in Parliament on this, and the Prime Minister should put in place a methodical, systematic plan for each city—one that can, over the next 5 or 10 years, make life easier for our people. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha

Steve Jobs on how to build a great brand After re-joining Apple in 1996, Steve Jobs announced the “Think different” campaign with the following statement: “To me, marketing is about values. This is a very complicated and noisy world. We’re not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us. No company is. So we have to be really clear on what we want them to know about us.” He cites Nike as one of the greatest jobs of marketing the universe has ever seen: “Remember, Nike sells a commodity—they sell shoes! And yet when you think of Nike, you feel something different than a shoe company. In their ads, they don’t ever talk about the product. They don’t ever tell you about their air soles and why they are better than Reebok’s air soles. What does Nike do in their advertising? They honor great athletes, and they honor great athletics. That’s who they are, that’s what they are about.” Marketing guru Seth Godin also used Nike as an example of great branding in a blog post a few years ago: “If Nike announced that they were opening a hotel, you’d have a pretty good guess about what it would be like. But if Hyatt announced that they were going to start making shoes, you would have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what those shoes would be like. That’s because Nike owns a brand and Hyatt simply owns real estate.” Jobs goes on to explain how the Apple team arrived at the “Think Different” campaign: “Our customers want to know who is Apple and what is it that we stand for. Where do we fit in this world? What we’re about isn’t making boxes for people to get their jobs done—although we do that well. We do that better than almost anybody, in some cases. But Apple is about something more than that. Apple at the core—its core value—is that we believe people with passion can change the world for the better… And that those people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who actually do.” He continues: “And so, what we’re going to do in our first brand marketing campaign in several years is to get back to that core value. A lot of things have changed. The market is in a totally different place than it was a decade ago, and Apple is totally different… the products and the distribution strategy and the manufacturing are totally different. And we understand that. But values and core values—those things shouldn’t change. The things that Apple believed in, at its core, are the same things that Apple really stands for today.” Apple’s “Think Different” campaign was designed to honor those people who have changed the world. And as Jobs so eloquently put it: “Some of them are living. Some of them are not. But the ones that aren’t, you’ll know that if they ever used a computer, it would’ve been a Mac. The theme of the campaign is ‘Think Different.’ It’s honoring the people who think different and who move this world forward. And it is what we are about. It touches the soul of this company.” If you’re looking to create a great brand, I’d start out by asking: what are your core values and what does your company honor?

I've become a missionary with one message. Every time I meet a young person, the same words: have children, get married, build a family. I did not decide on this calling. It overtook me. And it overtook me for a single reason. I had no idea. I genuinely did not understand how much joy, how much meaning, how much sheer beauty pours out of a child until I was holding one of my own and felt the floor of my life drop into something deeper than I knew was there. I grew up white, affluent, secular, comfortable, and insulated. That world does not put babies in front of you. None of my friends were starting families. Out of my whole circle, almost no one has a big one. We were not formed by the presence of children. We were formed by their absence, by the strange quiet of homes built for two careers and no cradle. And a person believes what his world shows him. So we believed. What we believed was a lie. It is a lie with an author, and that the author is the enemy of joy himself. It is the gospel of the world, and its commandment is wait. Wait until you are older. Wait until the career is built and the savings are stacked and the twenties are properly spent. Enjoy your freedom. You are not ready. It does not arrive sounding like temptation. It arrives sounding like wisdom, like prudence, like the responsible thing, and that is exactly why it works. The most effective lies are the ones that wear the face of virtue. And the maddening thing is that it collapses from every angle at once. It is not rooted in biology, because the body is made for this work precisely in the years we are told to postpone it. The flesh keeps a calendar the culture pretends not to see. And it is not rooted in theology either. You will not find this deferral anywhere in the Christian imagination, in any of the fathers, in any of the scriptures. So choose whatever lens you like. Take the cold secular measure or the ancient sacred one. By either light the counsel is rotten. It is bad for the body and bad for the soul and bad for the society downstream of both. This is why I have come to see it as one of the central tragedies of my generation. Every age carries its own wound. The Great Depression was a depression of bread, a scarcity in the world of matter, hunger you could measure. Ours is a depression of a different order. It is a famine of the spirit in the middle of abundance. We have more than any people who ever lived and we are starving in a way our ancestors would not recognize, because the thing we are refusing cannot be bought and cannot be banked. The ones most made to give and receive this love are quietly declining it. They are walking away from the one inheritance that actually compounds, and the cruelest part is that they do not feel the loss as loss. You cannot grieve what you were taught not to want. That is the deepest cut of it. The lie does not only steal the thing. It steals the capacity to know the thing was stolen. A man can spend his whole life on the far side of a door he never knew was a door, mistaking the wall for the edge of the world. Because this beauty is not ordinary beauty. It is not the pleasure of a good meal or a clear morning. It is participation in something that comes down from above, the same generative love that spoke everything out of nothing and called it good. To make a person, to be undone and remade by loving that person more than your own life, is to be drawn for a moment inside the very act that holds the cosmos together. A child does not merely add to your life. A child reorders the soul. It teaches you what you are by asking everything of you, and you discover, kneeling there exhausted at three in the morning, that you had a capacity for self gift you never suspected, a depth in yourself you had no other way to reach. In the Gospel of John, on the last night, Jesus prays, these things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. And I have come to understand why family is the road into that fullness, why it is not one path among many but the one most fitted to the shape of the promise. Consider who is praying. Christ does not come to us as a lone figure dropped out of the sky. He comes out of a family older than the world, the eternal communion of Father and Son, the love between them so total and so alive that theologians dared to call it a third person. Before there was anything, there was a family. The deepest fact about reality is not a force or a law or a void. It is a household. It is begetting and being begotten, giving and receiving, a Father who is only a Father because there is a Son. So when Jesus speaks of joy made complete, he is not pointing away from family toward something higher. He is pointing toward the very thing he came from, the life he has known from eternity and came to share. His joy is the joy of belonging utterly to a Father and pouring himself out for those he loves. When you marry, when you bring a child into the world, when you wear yourself down in the small unseen labors of a home, you are not stepping outside that divine life. You are stepping into a small image of it. Your family is a created echo of an uncreated one. The love you give your child rhymes with the love the Father has for the Son. The exhaustion, the tenderness, the way a parent would tear the sky open to protect a sleeping infant, all of it is the heavens pressed faintly into flesh, the eternal household leaving its fingerprint on yours. That is why the joy is not merely added to family but completed in it. We were made in the image of a God who is, at his very root, relation and gift and generation. To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.
