Just as bereaved mothers shouldn't be forgotten on Mother's Day, bereaved fathers shouldn't be forgotten on Father's Day.
They are sometimes forgotten in general, because everyone focuses on how the mother is doing. But those Daddy's lost the same thing the Mommy's lost, and it is just as hard for them to face days like this without their children.
I wanted to do whatever would bring me the most peace on Mother's Day, and I hope that's what the father's missing their children will decide to do this Sunday.
Virginia's father and I can't be together this Father's Day, but my whole heart is with him. He's a grieving dad, but mostly importantly he is a dad, her dad, and he deserves to be celebrated this weekend for loving her and missing her the way only a Daddy can.
