my dad doesn’t need accolades or thank yous. def doesn’t want gifts. he consistently provides, loves, cares for, & protects just cuz that’s what is in his heart & that is what he believes the leader of the family does, unwaveringly.
my father thinks Father’s Day is weak cuz he taught all his kids that you show up for your people everyday. You show gratitude everyday. You band together, show up & love them everyday
I keep seeing people say things like “how could they be that scared of a labradoodle?” but even if that dog was a “scarier” breed, he still didn’t deserve to be shot by a coward with a gun.
