What would you say to your Dad today if you could?
For seventeen years I have been asking this question on Father's Day at Fark.com.
I am always stunned at the heartbreaking and heartwarming and somehow cathartic comments. It, for me, somehow makes my Dad's tragic story into a positive. These threads have become very special to me.
Read through the comments and perhaps be moved to share your own.
One father to another I offer this advice:
show up, be silly, be strong, listen, be honest.
Here's this year's FARK Father's Day thread.

Folks have asked about the song, so I'm making it as downloadable as I can.
Here is a link to a free MP3 download on ReverbNation
It is also available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Amazon, etc.
Thanks for listening. It really means a lot.
Til next year, my friends, stay strong.
