Today is not about your deadbeat dad, and today is not about your baby daddy who abandoned his responsibilities and left everything to you. There are other days to talk about them and drag them all you want.
And today is not about your “strong mother” who single-handedly raised you and your siblings. There are enough days dedicated to celebrating mothers and their sacrifices, you can sing her praises those days and even beyond.
Today is simply about good fathers.
The fathers who showed up.
The fathers who stayed.
The fathers who sacrificed.
The fathers who provided.
The fathers who loved, protected, guided, and remained present in their children’s lives.
Not every father deserves praise, but the good ones certainly do.
So let people who were blessed with great fathers celebrate them in peace without disrupting it.
Happy Father’s Day to every amazing fathers out there.
