Father's Day doesn't mean anything to me. My father passed away 20 years ago. My friend is 21 years older than me and it seems like he has taken on my father's roll for me. He reminds me so much of my father in a lot of ways, both good and bad. The good is that he can help me out financially like my father did. I don't rely in him much for that. One thing he does better than what my father did was that he would listen and sympathize with me when I feel down. The bad thing that my friend reminds me of my late Dad is that he can be critical like my father was. Yesterday, my friend mentioned to me that's it's Father's Day and how he remembered me comparing him to my late father.

I am not a Dad myself. I never had any kids and never will. I may be wrong, but it seems like there's more attention to Mother's Day than Father's Day.
