In recognition that this day like all things in life could mean different things to different people -parent and child, positive and negative-I’d like to speak here about fathers who’ve experienced loss.
This month I became one.
What if it’s humanity you need to open yourself up to? To allow to shepherd you through trials of grief?
A family day where families are dealing with loss because families are torn apart is not a family day. It’s not a human day.
May we all be open to seeing it in ourselves, may we be strong enough to receive it from others, compassionate enough to give it to others, and courageous enough to demand it from others.
