5 things my father should know happy father's day

  1. I will always look up to you as the best dad, best pastor, and best movie buddy. You are a guiding light when I need one.
  2. We may not always get along, but I fondly remember it’s because we are so much alike. You’re the Dr. Evil to my Mini-Me (I mean that in the nicest way possible).
  3. I’m sorry for all those times we screamed at each other. I may have meant what I said at the time, but I didn’t mean it for always.
  4. I will fiercely defend you against anyone who talks smack about you. I’m the only one who’s allowed to talk smack about you. Well, and Mom. Nobody insults my family and gets away with it.
  5. We are on this journey to better mental health together. I want you to know that I am proud of you for addressing your depression, and I will always be there for you as we support each other on this journey.

 

…I love you very much.
