All around, expectations
permeate the air:
Society’s,
Family’s, Personal.
You
juggle them, giving each, at one time or another, the spotlight of your
attention,
Or,
sometimes, all three, when they seemingly morph into one.
Against
this backdrop of, sometimes, egos versus sovereignty,
For
all the times those in your care felt loved,
Thank
you.
For
all the times you worried over making the best decision from a place of love,
Thank
you.
For
all the times you stepped away from habit to step closer towards
healing,
Thank
you.
To
all the Fathers parenting here on earth or cheering from Heaven,
For
all the times and all the ways, seen and unseen, that you keep rolling up your
sleeves, that you keep committing, that you keep loving,
Thank
you.
You,
specific you, your specific presence, your specific way of caring, uniquely
beautiful you, you make a difference.
Thank
you.
Happy Father’s Day.
