Sunday was Father's Day. The day when we gave thanks for our fathers. The
men who bring us up and show us what's what, how to shave and how to look after
money. All important things, but crucially not everything. Father's do other
things. They let us know they love us. They make us feel safe. They take time
to listen to us when we have a problem. They let us be free to mess up and
still be there when we return knowing what we did. They try to stop us messing
up and are still there when we return knowing what we did. They know what we
need even when we don’t.
They are there.
Unfortunately though for many of us they aren’t. Perhaps they have left your
family, maybe they have died, maybe they just don’t care.
If you are in this situation it may be pretty easy to understand why so many
people...
