As someone with an absent father figure, I wish you the best. I still long for a connection with my dad, but I'm happy to know you shared such a close and meaningful connection with yours. I believe in you, and, if I can be presumptive, I know your dad believes in you too, just like I know mine believes in me. Thank you for creating such a rad, titillating experience so many of us can share, enjoy, and create memories from. You rock <3
