gives society a chance to honor and show gratitude to all the men in our lives who step up as fatherly role models and help foster our perspectives of the world.

She was beside herself as she struggled with the loss, and I knew that as Father's Day approached, it was going to be a tough holiday for her to get through.
One of the most important things you can do to help a loved one is to make sure to address the loss before. It can be an uncomfortable effort to make, but people suffering from the loss of a father will feel comforted from the support. Given how much my friend had mourned for her father in the past few months, I proactively reached out to her and let her know I knew this day was going to be tough.
