On Father’s Day...a thread

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there today! I hope you have a wonderful day enjoying those who make your life special. Thank you for doing the difficult, but joyous work, of Fatherhood. 1/?
For all of those dads for whom today is NOT a special day...whether from loss or strained relationships or any other factor, I am thinking of you. It’s so hard to be happy on a day that maybe doesn’t hold cherished memories for you as a father. 2/?
For all of the Fathers who have passed on...you are truly missed. I lost my Dad when I was 15. 3 weeks before I turned 16. He never saw me get my license. Didn’t see my HS or my 2 college graduations. He didn’t walk my down the aisle. 3/?
Never met my 3 children or is other 4 grandchildren. He thought the world of my 2 sisters and me. Having 7 grandkids would have made his heart so full. I miss him so very much. I miss his wisdom and his wittiness. I wish we would have had more time. 4/?
But, I was blessed with my phenomenal dad for almost 16 years. Some children and families are not as lucky...and for those fathers, I sincerely hope you can find it within yourself to make changes and do right by your kids. They deserve better. 5/?
So, Happy Father’s Day to those who are celebrating. Enjoy your day!

To those that are hurting, I hurt along with you today. Let’s be kind to ourselves today and always. End.
