Episode notes
In this episode of Father and Friend, Marine Corps veteran and father of two, Antonio shares his powerful story of raising a daughter with DiGeorge Syndrome (DGS) and the lessons he’s learned about presence, humility, and faith in fatherhood.
Antonio opens up about his childhood, his journey into the Marines, and how the birth of his daughter completely reshaped his view of fatherhood. He shares the struggles of guilt, shame, and anger he faced early on, and how a turning point in Scripture (John 9:1-3) helped him see his daughter’s life as a testimony of God’s grace.
This conversation is a heartfelt reminder that fatherhood is about showing up, setting aside guilt and fear, and being fully present in the moments that matter most.
