My dad was not “traditional” in any sense of the word. But the more I hear about other fathers, the more I understand that there probably never was such a thing. Some dads do their best. Some of them hardly try. Some dads aren’t involved at all and sometimes children wish their dads would just disappear. Wherever your dad fits in, we’ll remember every kind of father. Whether our memories be joyful or painful, perhaps we can recognize that all fathers have lessons to teach.
