💙 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
Today is for the dads.
The biological dads.
The stepdads.
The foster dads.
The grandads doing another round of parenting.
The uncles, brothers and family friends who simply stepped up.
The dads doing school runs, packing lunches, coaching sport, fixing things, cooking dinner, working ridiculous hours and somehow being asked “Mum said to ask you” about something they know absolutely nothing about. 😂
The dads raising little people.
The dads watching those little people become not-so-little people.
The dads whose children are grown but who apparently remain on-call indefinitely. 😂
And the men who may not technically have Dad written beside their name anywhere, but have quietly become one through their actions.
Father’s Day can also be complicated.
For some, Dad is no longer here.
For some, the relationship isn't what they wish it were.
Some are doing fatherhood largely on their own.
Some desperately wanted to become dads and couldn't.
And some families simply look very different from the traditional picture.
So today doesn't need to fit neatly into one definition.
It's really about recognising the people who show up.
The lifts.
The advice.
The terrible jokes.
The practical help.
The phone calls.
The consistency.
The love.
Sometimes it's the big things.
More often, it's a thousand ordinary little things done over years that eventually become someone's childhood.
So to the dads, grandads, stepdads and all the other good humans doing the job
Happy Father’s Day. 💙
Hopefully someone else is doing the dishes today. 😂
