I celebrate Father’s Day, not as a father, but as a parent.
As a human living in this world trying to give back as much as I get.
I am not teaching my boys to be a man or a woman, or anything in between.
Knowing how to change the oil in the car is just as important as doing the dishes, cleaning the house.
The duties of a family are divided by time, not gender.
My duty as a parent is to create humans who know how to be kind, to understand empathy is not a weakness, that the world is full of people who are as beautiful as they are dangerous.
I will do this till I die, not as a sacrifice, but a choice.
I chose to be their parent.
They did not choose to be born.
