In this heartfelt episode of Making Our Way, we sit down with Bill Barton — a father whose story takes us through the deep joy of fatherhood, the shock of an unexpected diagnosis, and the slow, transformative journey of learning what it truly means to be present.

Bill shares honestly about the helplessness that can come with watching the people you love carry pain you cannot fix. He reflects on the moment he realized that love isn’t always about solutions — sometimes it’s about showing up, staying steady, and choosing connection in the hardest moments.

Through it all, Bill reminds us that joy still finds its way in. In small moments. In laughter. In perspective. In family.

This is a conversation about presence, perspective, and the quiet strength of a father learning to walk alongside his child — not with all the answers, but with an open heart.
