I got a card for my dad that says the only thing better than having you as a father is that my daughters have you as a grandfather.

My father may at best be described as emotionally unavailable, but he’s 70’s white man, the world has been good to him, he lives a good life. My grandfather (his father) was in Normandy in 1945 and was the boss of the household.

In comparison to his father my dad is a paragon of inclusivity, taking my brothers homosexuality in his stride. If Im honest when he dies I couldn’t honestly say I ever knew him.

Thank goodness times are changing and men are able to open up. The damage a remote father can do to a family can be catastrophic.
