Has Father's Day morphed from honoring one's own father to celebrating fatherhood in general (Fathers' Day, plural)? I used to wish a Happy Father's Day to just my own Dad; now I find myself expressing similar sentiments to friends' husbands who are fathers and even men who serve as nurturing "fathers" to their animals. At our Father's Day family dinner we raised our glasses to both Dads at the table.
I heard interviews with a few of the golfers competing in the U.S. Open at Merion on Sunday, and they mentioned the significance of playing in the final on Father's Day and how they strive to exemplify good behavior while out on the course, even after making two double-bogeys. Good stuff.
