I wrote "My Dad" to show that love, tenderness, mundane chores and everyday comfort can, and does, come from dads all the time. My experience as a dad of 3 wonderful children is amazing, challenging and fulfilling. But the experience is nothing like the expectation I had reflected back at me by books and media as I grew up. I watch my friends who are dad's who are much more than just the "goofball" dad or "work all hours" dad or the "lazy dad"...
