Father's Day is always weird for me because my dad was a (diagnosed) sadistic psychopath who made what passed for our "family" a miserable, terrifying, degrading and life-threatening concentration-camp experience. My sister and I survived it, in that we have both lived into our late 70's, but the effect he had on our lives is completely unlike what you described and what is the typical paean about which I read in articles about fathers. I wonder what that would have been like. I have tried very hard to be a different father, with at best mixed results.
Matt, beautiful msg. Also, you are a very good writer & communicator. It's a gift. Happy Father's Day to you & your fam.
Loved your message and the photos. I am sure you are a great Dad. Happy Father’s Day!
Thank you 🙏
