I have one vague memory of Father’s Day from my childhood. I know that I never cared about Father’s Day when my dad was alive. I remember really caring about Father’s Day in 2008 though, six months after Dad had died. On reflection now, I’ve realised that I’m glad I never treated Father’s Day as something special. I mark Father’s Day now, because I don’t get to mark a normal Tuesday with him.
