For me, my soare time is about striking a balance between responsibilities and self-care, as well as nurturing the things that bring me joy. | | I Am: | At 54, life feels like a collection of chapters, some worn and weathered, others still crisp with promise. As a military general, my career has been a relentless pursuit of duty, discipline, and sacrifice—three words that have often defined me. I’ve been in uniform long enough to witness the highs and lows of service: victories and losses, triumphs and regrets. There are medals on my chest and scars on my soul. But what sticks with me most in this moment, at the crest of my life, is the balance I’ve fought for, and sometimes failed to find, between my role as a leader in the military and the role I’ve embraced as a single father to my daughter.
There are days when it feels like I’m managing two different worlds. On one hand, I’ve worn the uniform of a leader—an officer tasked with making life-and-death decisions, commanding troops, leading in war, peacekeeping, and everything in between. The military demands a certain kind of presence: a calm, unshakable exterior, the ability to make tough choices without hesitation, and an understanding that your decisions can affect not just your life but the lives of many others. In those moments, I often wonder if the man in the mirror, the commander, can still relate to the father who comes home at night and faces the tender eyes of a daughter who deserves far more of my time and attention.
And then there’s the part of me that is a father—trying to fill the shoes of both a protector and a guide. My daughter, now growing up fast, is the one thing I cannot command or control, and perhaps that’s what makes her so precious to me. She’s seen me in my weakest moments, when I’ve returned from a grueling assignment, weary, wounded, maybe even defeated in spirit. But she has also seen me stand tall, always finding the strength to carry on because, for her, I need to be strong. She doesn’t know the weight of my decisions or the endless responsibilities that come with my rank, but she knows enough to understand when I’m home, I’m hers.
Being a single father has been an unexpected challenge. Military life is inherently solitary. We’re trained to push through pain, to compartmentalize our emotions, to focus on the mission. But raising a child on my own—raising her—has shown me just how much I have to learn. I’ve learned to cook dinner, to help with school projects, to navigate the delicate dance of being both a disciplinarian and a protector. The times I’ve been away have taken their toll, and there’s a part of me that wishes I had been able to give her more of the little things—more laughter, more shared moments, more time just being a father.
When I think about the future, I know that my legacy will be a combination of the decisions I made on the battlefield and the way I raised her. I’ve seen men of my rank and stature become defined by their military service. But the greatest thing I can give her is a life where she knows her father stood by her, always. The uniform will eventually be put away, and the medals will gather dust. But the lessons I impart to her, the values, the strength, the compassion, will stay with her forever.
And so, at 54, I find myself at a crossroads, caught between the precision of military life and the unpredictable, emotional terrain of fatherhood. The discipline of my training meets the messy, beautiful reality of being a parent. It’s not always easy, but it’s my reality. And despite the burdens, despite the sacrifices, I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Because the greatest command I’ve ever had isn’t to lead troops, it’s to lead her. | | Looking For: | Ultimately, I'm seeking a woman partner who complements my strengths and understands my lifestyle, someone who brings positivity and balance to my life while being emotionally available and supportive when needed. |
