These thoughts have been weighing on my heart and lately, I can’t escape them. As close as my daughter and I are now, as much as we’ve been through together and as much as I know she’s genuinely happy, there’s this constant feeling of guilt and shame that still haunts me.

If I had my way, this Father’s Day would be a call to action for more men to be involved in their children’s lives.

It seems as if Father’s Day’s is getting closer to being as big a deal as mother’s day. Well not equal, but we’re improving.
