To the widower fathers raising their children. PROST!
To the widower fathers who tragically lost their wives in child bearing. Salute!
To the widower fathers who must console their grieving children while their heart is rent. Skoal!
To the widower fathers that must keep moving forward. Cheers!
To the widower fathers who are afraid to share their pain. Hail!
I pay tribute today to the fathers who must continue on, and must bear their burdens alone now. We are with you!

(I posted this to MensRights because fathers day is an important part of honoring men. Not all men affected by unfair treatment are fathers, and they matter just as much, but there are men's rights issues unique to fathers.)
