Happy Father’s Day to the dads who sat beside incubators, holding tiny feet. The dads who drove home to empty nurseries, dreaming of cuddling their baby away from the hospital. The dads who watched their partners endure birth trauma and kept showing up to support them. The dads who held everyone together while quietly falling apart. We see you and you are so worthy of support and praise.
