Father’s Day in 2020

There is no doubt that Father’s Day in 2020 is going to be a very different experience for so many dads around the world. The presence of the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way we go about our lives every day and for some dads and families, those changes are greater than others. With social (or physical) distancing, the associated closure of restaurants and cafes, the limited number of people able to attend family gatherings, and even the use of face masks to protect ourselves along with the most vulnerable members of our society, it just feels like this one has the potential to be a little less intimate and fulfilling.

This Father’s Day 2020

Here we are, Father’s Day 2020, my 8^th year as a dad and so much has changed over each of those years, not only for my daughter but also for me as a person and as a dad. Looking back, I remember thinking from the outside that fatherhood would be limiting, however, I’ve found fatherhood has given me the freedom to cast off the ego, facade and pretence and actually discover who I am as a person and as a man.
