shirenomadPlease don't be insulted by the site this happens to be on; I happen to agree with everything this essay says, so I'm putting it up anyway.
For those of us who have good fathers, be glad. Thank them today. Thank them often. Remember everything they did for us.
For those of us who have bad fathers, follow the advice the column gives at the end. I know what hate can do, and I will testify to the cleansed feeling that forgiveness and moving on brings. It took a lot of generations to bring things this far. End the cycle with you.
And for all us guys, if/when we become fathers ourselves, let's all remember to be the kind that will change the world, starting with our children.
