This One Goes Out to the Dads

This one goes out to the Dads:

To the decisive and lionhearted, the quiet and pensive.

Artist dads, scientist dads, bedtime reading, don’t stop believing dads.

Fathers that are gardeners, fathers that are immigrants, fathers that can sometimes feel like a highway to hell, but also a stairway to heaven.

Proud dads, unhoused dads, down on their luck, high on the buck dads.

Single and divorced dads, googling and boogalooing dads.

Book-reading dads, good-looking dads, gay and straight, cool No Kings dads.

Gamers and gardeners, bookworms and musicians.

Poet dads, know it all dads, sweet song honey seriously funny dads.

Fathers that’ll feed you a happy meal when the world feeds you grief.

Dads no longer with us in the flesh, but embodied through our actions and beliefs.

To all dads, Happy Father’s Day.
