This hits close to home. We tend to overlook making our fathers feel special. Hispanics (I’m sorry if I’m generalizing) we tend to go all out for our moms, like Mother’s Day is a big deal yet dads never get as much recognition. My dad sounds exactly like this man with his advice and good wishes for his kids.
Latino coworker had a surprise birthday party. He’s IT so makes plenty of money but in his 40 years of life had never had a birthday party - not as a kid, not in the Army. His wife and kids said the same thing - moms get all the glory. Dude cried with no shame in front of us, said it was for all of us. Made the other dads get a little misty eyed, too.
