And, for those who have less than ideal relationships with their dads (I called mine today to wish him a Happy Fathers' Day only to find out he has drunk himself into the hospital again. Sigh...)- remember, they did the best they could, and if they could have done better, they would have.
So Happy Fathers' Day, too, to the uncles and stepfathers and family friends, who step up into so many lives to be unofficial dads. I know many on DT fill this role in the lives of many young people. Take it from this middle-aged chick, who is very grateful to her favorite uncle for being there when her dad couldn't be, the young 'uns won't forget. I promise.
