    @ peeves:

    The point is to remember the best in anyone. Nobody has a perfect father. It’s no surprise that there’s always someone who has to find the cloud in every silver lining.

    Happy fathers day and thanks to all of the wonderful dad’s out there.

    @ Mokuwai

    Please, it’s not a cloud to point out that this day is hard for many who didn’t have a great dad or one at all and acknowledge that. It’s not good for Hallmark but it’s better to actually think about the entire picture.

    Peeves, Mokuwai, Perhaps we could fill out the picture by remembering all those fathers who are NOT honored on Fathers’ Day for no fault of their own.

    I miss my dad. He died last year when I was nineteen. He wasn’t the best person in the universe, but he was the only dad I had. Never underestimate how much you’ll miss someone.

    I always thought of Neatorama as a girl. I wonder who her father is?

    Nice to post an apologist quote that seems to offer a pass for shitty fathering. My father was a terrible dad - about as bad as they come and me still being alive to remember him. I’m okay with remembering him as the abusive, violent, thoughtless and awful human being he was and doing my best to avoid such behavior with my own son.

    Btw, I had an awesome Father’s Day. :-)
