Well here in Canada where I call home, today is Father's Day. A day where we buy cards and bad ties in an attempt to show appreciation to our father's. Well let me say that being a father is not a mantle to be taken for granted. Just by being a father you don't get the right to get cards and bad ties purchased for you - you have to earn that right.
So for all the deadbeat Dad's out there who don't pay child support, don't spend some quality time with their kids and don't deserve the title of father - you should get a good old fashion kick in the groin. To quote the soup Nazi ( well maybe not a direct quote ) '"No tie for you !"
To the other dads out there who support their children , enjoy their children and recognize how special their children are - Kudos to you . We need more of you out there to combat the rise in divorces, broken families and drive by shootings that seem to plague our neighborhoods - sorry plague our 'hoods.
Take a minute to thank your father today in whatever way is appropriate for you - have a drink , play some golf, or give him a hug but be sure to take a minute.
My dad died several years ago now, so I wont have the option of having a drink with him or watching the ball game or anything else - but I do want to say one thing to him...
Dad I miss you....
