Today is always a little bittersweet for me. I get to spend it with my kids and I really do look forward to the day but on the other hand I myself have no memories of ever celebrating wiith my own father. He died almost 10 years ago now.

    Try to be a good father if you can. I don’t know how hard it is as I don’t have kids, but it’s the whole point of that day I guess. If I had kids, I would try my best to empower them without controlling them.

    Rant: It took me 40 years to accept the fact that my father was (and still is) a selfish asshole that doesn’t care about his family. For example, he’d rather get technical advice from a salesman in a sketchy computer shop than asking me, a software engineer, for advice.
