If you are celebrating your father, or being celebrated yourself, I hope you have the most wonderful day.
But if today brings up grief, complicated emotions, or a heavy heart, please be so incredibly gentle with yourself. I want to hold extra space for those who didn't or don't have a safe, healthy relationship with their father. When that bond is toxic, abusive, or absent, a day like today can be tough.
Please remember: you are so loved, and their choice or inability to be there was never, ever your fault. I’m gently reminding myself of that today, too. Sending you the biggest hug.
