On this Father's Day, thank you to the dads who care

I ’m not a grandfather yet, despite my constant nagging. The sensitive subject tends to strike my son with temporary deafness at the tender age of 27. But I’m both a dedicated father and a proud stepfather with almost three decades of experience of fatherhood. Being a stepdad must be the most difficult, thankless task on earth and these guys do a wonderful job. They step up to fill the boots of a biological dad who either can’t or doesn’t want to be the father he was supposed to be.

A young woman who works with me asked me for advice recently, as she was about to go on her first official date in a few years. “No man has ever opened a door for me …” she said. I was shocked. Opening doors for women was one of the first things my dad taught me.My own father was the most special man I have met. Thanks to him, I consider fathers who play a pivotal role in their children’s upbringing as the vertebrae in society’s moral backbone.
