Reflecting on Fatherhood as a Father and a Son

Father’s Day has always felt different to me than Mother’s Day. With my mom, there was a well-established ritual. We would make cards and present them during a special brunch, either at home or at a restaurant with my extended family. My dad would give my mom flowers or a gift, and the day was unmistakably focused on celebrating her. My children have continued this tradition in honoring their own mother.
