Happy fathers day to my dad, my brother, and all the new dads and old dads out there. My sister Ly wrote this about my dad today and I wanted to share it because it really resonated with me and since my sister and I do have the same dad I definitely see where these words are coming from- "Through my own mindfulness practice, I see my father as a person and not just my dad. I've also realized that I don't need him to be the perfect dad in order to love him. I can love him for just the person he is, with all of his strengths and faults."
My sisters words remind me that I need to be more mindful everyday with not only my dad but my sisters, brothers and everyone around me and I have to see people as people and I can't expect them to be the person I would want them to be or the person I think they should be.
If I ever become a father I promise I'll be there for my children, I promise to give them as much love and support that all the fathers in my life have given me and more.
