The exact saying eludes me at the moment but today we're thinking about how anyone can be a father but it takes a man to be a dad. Or a poppa, pops, daddy, pa... you get the point. I don't say it enough, but I hope my old man (which I would never call him to his face, of course) knows what he means to me. Credit for everything good I've ever done goes to him and my mom; the bad should be blamed on too much fast food or something.Happy Father's Day to all the real men out there.

Thanks for writing this. It's very well appreciated.
Thanks for posting those stories, Snead. They were each touching in their own ways.
It's rather an abstraction for me. Mine, who found me an embarrassment, is dead, and I am barred by law from bing one myself.
But for the straight and privileged, enjoy the day.
Thanks for the comment Waldo. It's sad our nation doesn't recognize the value of a loving father. And aren't these the same people worried about the fabric of America pulling apart?
