Today would have been Dads birthday. He would have hated being in quarantine. He was the type that always had to be working. I’m so incredibly thankful that he created opportunities for me through his hard work and dedication to his family. I have a lifetime of wonderful memories imbued with your wisdom and poise, and I’m incredibly proud to be your son. I hope you’re eating all of the ice cream today. I love you and miss you everyday. - @brianhealy42 on Instagram

Hey Dad, you know we’re all missing you on what would’ve been your 66th birthday. 14 years is such a long time without you, but I know you’re always watching over me. I think about you everyday - even if just for a few minutes, you’re always in my thoughts. Thank you for everything you did big guy 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Gonna BBQ and light a candle in your name today.

Teaching Tatem to Fly - @josephbrazen on Instagram


Es algo que él siempre nos dijo, e hizo de eso un lema en su vida. Yo no es que no lo supiera, pero hoy veo que así fue con una ternura y una evidencia que desconocía. Si lo necesitabas, ahí iba a estar. Si no lo necesitabas, era que no te dabas cuenta y en realidad estaba esperando que lo llamaras. Y si realmente podías sola con eso él se alegraba el doble y se ponía de lo más orgulloso porque lo habías logrado a tu manera y por tus propios medios. El tipo te enseñaba a pescar. Te amé siempre, te amo y te amaré por toda la eternidad. Lo diste todo siempre y siempre por nosotros hiciste lo imposible. Buen viaje viejito, estate tranquilo, mirá el paisaje y sonreí, no hay pendientes. Y si lo ves a Bill, en el asiento de al lado, agradecele esta canción de mi parte. Nos vemos pa. Te amo. Gracias a todos los amigos que se enteraron, por su apoyo, a ellos también les va esta canción, todos me ayudaron y me ayudan a llevar este momento de la mejor forma, acompañada y querida, soy muy afortunada, qué más puedo pedir. Gracias por sus deseos para mi familia, mi mamá, mi hermano del alma, mi compañero y mi hijo Feli que me enseña cómo son las cosas en su esencia más cabal. Gracias a la familia tíos, primos y cuñados que nos acariciaron una vez mas, hasta que el abrazo sea posible. A los amigos que se están enterando por aquí, disculpenme, es una noticia dura de dar. Gracias mamá, te amo, no tengas miedo. Estamos acá. Gracias @cocofco , te amo, que bueno es ser tu hermana. . * * * * * * * * * * * * A veces en nuestras vidas todos tenemos dolor Sometimes in our lives we all have pain Todos tenemos pena We all have sorrow Pero si somos sabios But if we are wise Sabemos que siempre hay un mañana. We know that theres always tomorrow Apóyate en mí, cuando no eres fuerte Lean on me, when youre not strong Y seré tu amigo And Ill be your friend Te ayudaré a continuar Ill help you carry on Porque no será largo For it wont be long Hasta que necesite Til Im gonna need Alguien en quien apoyarse Somebody to lean on Por favor, trágate tu orgullo Please swallow your pride Si tengo cosas que necesitas pedir prestado If I have things you need to borrow ...

August 26, 1928 - July 15, 2020 🖤 He was what you call a big fish - confident as hell, a heart as big as the universe, the ambassador of cool, and a real zest for life. As I even write these words, I know they don’t do an ounce of justice to who he really was - just the most special human being on the planet. And that’s still not enough. No words would ever be. Rest in peace, Papa. Being your daughter has been the greatest honor of my lifetime, and I can’t wait to see you again in the next one. I love you always. Your Pooch. - @yasukoshapiro on Instagram

It hasn’t always been easy , in fact it’s been actually impossible at times for us to even understand one another . Impossible to accept one another as just simply the people we are. Impossible to love each other with out conditions . We let culture, tradition, trauma, pain, personalities, stubbornness, opinions, society , community, pride, stand between us and blind us to who we could actually be to one another. And after all of that, we still turned a corner and started from scratch. To my own credit , I had compassion. To your credit, you surrendered . I accept all that it was. I relinquish any hold that it had over me. I am thankful for every positive thing you instilled me. So much of who i am comes from you. I love & respect you. S/O to all the Dads that tried their best. .....................................:::::::::::::::: #fathersday #Eritreandad #blackfathers #eritreanparents #Eritrea #habesha #africandads #lgbtqhabesha #lgbtqEritrea #queerHabesha - @dearyou_ on Instagram

After five long years of intensive struggle with his medical condition, my dear father finally heaved his final breath and joined our Creator yesterday afternoon, August 30. As the family patriarch, he is best remembered for his humility, selflessness and unconditional love. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated during his untimely departure. Farewell, Dad. You have put up a valiant fight and are now finally free from pain and suffering. We love you and will miss you dearly. Please keep watch over us and light our path with your divine wisdom. May your spirit find the Light. - @arnold_vegafria on Instagram

Today my dad would of turned 73. Not a day goes by that I don’t see or do something that reminds me of him. This pic was of us on the last round of golf he ever played. He loved to play golf so much but by that time the ALS had started to take hold which made it impossible for him to play after that day. I miss him dearly, but consider myself lucky that I was able to be with him on that special day!... HAPPY BIRTHDAY pops!!.. I love u very much!!...#ALSsucks #lougehrigdisease - @jylooper on Instagram

I lost my amazing, charismatic father today. Larry Harris was the Original #Girldad. He taught me and @mharris510 to be strong, passionate, honest, generous, hard working, and to love and laugh with an open heart through his example. The family he built with @suzbharris meant everything to him including the two men who became his sons - @jayreilly and Steven Kirstein. He adored his grandchildren @zkirstein12 @kykir #Richard and #Ellis. To say he was proud of us and our accomplishments doesn’t even begin to express his absolute joy at watching his children and grandchildren as we made our way in the world. My dad was a huge presence in my life not just because he loomed large in stature but because his big smile, big heart, and love of life made me who I am today. I hope, my beloved dad, you are on a beach somewhere with Gigi and Poppa drinking a glass of cold New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. You earned it. I love you so much and I am so grateful to be your daughter. - @abharris on Instagram

I was 8. He would take the morning off work and we’d go to watch test cricket at Wankhede. We used to enter from Marine Drive near Zaver Mahal. Park the car across the road and queue up to get into the stadium. The rule was simple : I had to always hold his index finger during the walk in. It used to be crowded but never suffocating. He had prepared my lunch box, water bottle and given me a cap for when the sun hit the west stand in the evening. My steps would quicken when I’d hear a roar from the crowds inside. The finger would restrain my speed. Up the stairs, into daylight and the thrill, the splendour of cricket bathed in sunshine with 20,000 people watching. It was only when we’d reached our seats that I was allowed to release the finger. I can never forget the sense of safety that finger gave me. It was as if once I held it I was cloaked in inter galactic protective armour. That’s the wonder of being the right kind of father. It makes your son Superman. This image was taken 22 years after those test match days. 22 years after a boy had experienced boundless love and kindness. Thank you, Baba. You were everything a little boy could ever want in a dad. Happy birthday. #RupenBose (1930-2007) - @rahulbose7 on Instagram

My parents used to sing the worst off key duets on long road trips. The more my brother and I groaned in the back seat the louder they would sing to each other. The same songs over and over and over. I will forever be grateful for those times we got to spend together and I am blessed that I got to grow up with both of them and see what love meant on such a consistent basis.

If you knew my father you would know he was the most intelligent, and caring man you could meet. He was the rock of our family, and I’m at a loss for words. I can’t fathom the thought that I will never have a conversation with him again. My father was In the hospital for COVID, and he did not leave. I beg you all to please wear a mask, and care for the ones around you. My family loss an essential piece that will never be replaced. I love you dad. - @sadtad_ on Instagram

Today hasnt been an easy day... Appa, had you been around youd have turned 90 today...but some things arent meant to be! Youve given me some beautiful gifts...thoughts and memories... You always embodied brilliance whether it was the way you articulated things or the delicious food you made... nobody on this planet can come close to making rava dosai or avial (28 vegetables in it!!) or the vegetable and cheese sandwich toast the way you used to...you used to infuse it with special ingredients...tons of love and affection! Ive definitely picked up the passion for cooking from you! You had magic in your fingers whether it was making furniture or fixing things around the house! I can feel your presence in so many things around the house everyday! You understood music and dance like no else could! You were a true connoisseur of the performing arts! And...your driving skills were par excellence! Ive heard stories of what a legendary tennis player you were! You were a great teacher: when I struggled with chemistry equations, youd simplify them for me, when business management went above my head, you created guides for me and made it feel like a piece of cake! Generosity was thy 2nd name...whether it was gifting or helping others! You would always go all out to make guests feel at home and you loved feeding people! Even though you were a self proclaimed atheist, I feel that you were more far more spiritual than all those people who pray or peform rituals but lack emotions or do jack shit to help others! You were honest to a fault! I learnt this from you - your liking or disliking someone should not stop you from helping them! You were very expressive....if you were happy, you would smile from ear to ear... people say Ive inherited your smile...thank you Appa! If you were upset about something, you couldnt conceal your emotions...it would show on your face! Ive inherited this too! And Im proud of that...it makes me more human! I believe in rebirth and you know what, how many ever births I take, I want you back as my father or child! They dont make fathers like you anymore! Hugs to you wherever you are, Appa! Keep smiling and watch over us!❤️ - @deciphermenow on Instagram

I need a hug today. With all that’s going on in the world we haven’t progressed at all. The things I have experienced and seen as a #bipoc just scar and didn’t just start happening this year. Since I was born I have seen the worth of my family members questioned, seen them detained, seen my worth questioned and also been detained for the simple act of existing. I’m tired of. I’m sad. I woke up crying to think even some of my family members question there is a problem. I’ll wipe the tears away and go back to getting into #goodtrouble - @anastasiawash on Instagram

World Suicide Prevention Day is today. Every day I wish I could have done something to help. Every day I wish I knew what was going on in your mind and your reason for choosing to take your life. There’s so many questions I have. If you’re reading this, and have suicidal thoughts, never hesitate to reach out to me, or seek help in another way. You never will be able to take back what you’ve done and you won’t ever know how this would affect the people around you. Depression is not a joke.

48 yrs this past July! My daddy saw his lady in high school her 10th grade year and didn’t stop til he got her that following year. He didn’t know he had gotten the strongest lady this side of the United States. This lady is my mom and I’m hurting right now not just cause she’s my mom... But because I have to see my dad crumble every time the Dr calls. It is sooooo heartbreaking. Say a prayer for me but pray a little harder for my poppa bear. 💕✨ - @chevneeclare on Instagram

I am in such disbelief today. One of the most amazing people I ever knew passed away last night. My Grandpa. Back in July, I chose to go home to Ohio for a week and saw much of my family, including my Grandpa. I had no idea that was the last time I would see him. You left too soon, Grandpa. You were a role model for me and so many others. And you always told me that in life “it’s not what you know, but who you know.” You were a social butterfly and I was always impressed by how easily you could strike up a conversation and make friends with anyone. I will always remember our trips to get ice cream, going to the zoo, the museum. You came to all my plays and film screenings. You were so supportive. And when we were little and misbehaved, you would joke and say you would “send us to the moon.” Your legacy and lessons will live on through your kids, your grandkids, and beyond. Thank you for making the world a brighter and better place for us. I miss you so much. Love, Your Best Buddy - @deanparka on Instagram

My dad was a superhero in more ways then one. Coming across all the funny photos, memories & adventures he took our family has been helping us. He was always on the go, from playing basketball in the Cyprus team from age 16 to winning a number of tennis championships and Ski tournaments. Our shelves our full with all his achievements and happy memories of a life full. I wanted to share some of these picture as they made me laugh and help me remember to be silly and have fun as he did, throughout his life. We miss him😥🖤❤️🇨🇾 . . . . #love #dad #memories #cyprus #cyprus🇨🇾 #basketball #tennischampion #tennis #lifegoals #loveyou #missyou #thinkingofyou - @alexiatryfon on Instagram

Im gonna miss my Grandpa Junius Leo Bennion. Gratefully he died of natural causes surrounded by his wife and all 9 of his children. He was a giant goofy cowboy with a PHD that shot rockets into the stratosphere. He was one of the softest and most tender men I have ever known with some of the corniest jokes and who knew who he was and what he stood for. He was always making sure you had a handful of Peanut M&Ms or a bowl of ice cream while you laughed with him. He was a poet and a songwriter who always tried to do what was right and loved folks as they came. I am so grateful to carry his name and for all the ways he still lives on in me. Thank you Grandpa, I love you. Hope to see you down the trail sometime. 🌻🌄🌻 From this valley they say you are going We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile For they say you are taking the sunshine That has brightened our path for a while - @james_junius on Instagram

Still on a self care tip and still sick, but Happy Father’s Day to my Dad, Samuel Asibi Agolley. Some of you have read my short story “Sam” in the anthology, Growing Up African in Australia. In it I talk about discovering about the life of my Dad posthumously. And in my teens I found photos of him for the first time. I finally got to see him, this Black man, his exuberance, his joy, his life in Ghana, his family, his friends, his travels, his style and him in love with Mum. And in all those photos there’s just one photo of the two of us before he passed away. The sole photo of the two of us was water damaged... distorted. It felt symbolic of the incompleteness, strangely haunting, but I still cherished it. At my low point some weeks ago my girlfriend gave me the photo. She had the image restored by two artists overseas. One of the artists worked on the image at night, in stolen hours and from hearing the story of the photo from my partner, refused payment. I was so taken by this gesture and the image. Taken because there we are. Together. Finally in one frame. I chose to not post it here (for obvious reasons) but it’s now on my desktop and in the home. I look at it everyday. It helps complete the images in my mind, the family as a whole and my relationship to my Dad. ♥️ Image: Mum and Dad - @faustinathefuzz on Instagram

My Granny and Granda - Mary and John Judge - on O’Connell St. some time in the late forties. They lived all their adult lives in the Greek St. flats. My Granda worked in Guinnesses and the fish market while my Granny worked selling fruit on Thomas St. on the same patch that her mother and grandmother sold on. When her grandmother - my great great grandmother - started out they grew the produce that they sold in the Phoenix park. I’m thinking a lot today about matrilineal lines and how women kept everything together while men struggled to evolve past a very basic stage. My Granda was in St. Joseph’s Industrial school in Artane which was infamous for its abuse of young boys and undoubtedly carried a lot of trauma from his time there. Who knows the extent of the ancestral trauma that we all must carry within us?! #dublin #grandparents #greekstflats #dublinhistory #gender #ritesofpassage #ancestraltrauma #ancestralhealing - @fire_draw_near on Instagram

Happy birthday dad. We miss you ❤️ - @seamuscloonan on Instagram

I worshipped my dad. He was handsome and funny. He loved movies and thrift stores and taking things apart and putting them back together. He loved to take us shopping for new clothes. He also struggled with addiction and had a hair trigger temper that didn’t have an off switch. His entire life he battled those demons, a battle he lost when I was 22. A month before he died, we went to Texas to say goodbye. One of the last things he said was “I should’ve been a better dad.” I wasn’t expecting it, but I am grateful he recognized the hurt and pain he caused. It allows me to focus on the good times like this Easter Sunday morning. And I’m sending love out to anyone who finds today a hard day. #happyfathersday - @heatherjnyc on Instagram

He was a builder, and adventurer, and a family man. He spoke through action, took care of all those around him, shared his knowledge generously, and taught many “how to fish”. There isn’t a tool I touch that he didn’t first teach me how to use. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons I didn’t know I was receiving.

Eita dor que não passa, eita saudade que só aumenta! Pensei que esse ano fosse ser menos dolorído, dad, mas sua ausência faz o peito apertar muito, dá um nó na garganta sem tamanho. As lágrimas já fazem parte da minha vida, mas quando elas vem, eu não reluto mais em deixar que rolem; hoje entendo que são minha forma de colocar para fora todo meu amor por você. O que me faz mais feliz nos meus dias é deitar e conversar contigo, todas as noites, e sentir sua resposta, sua presença. Obrigada por estar comigo, sempre. “Te amo infinitamente, Rômulo, você é o amor da minha vida” Copiei de sua resposta à uma postagem minha de dia dos pais de 2015. O melhor pai do mundo! Meu dad! Feliz dia dos Pais! ♥️ Te amo +++++++++++++ - @anatrevisani on Instagram

We can all use a story of awesomeness in our lives. Lets help Rodneys story go viral! Rodney Smith is preparing to pack his trusty Toro lawn mower into the back of his vehicle — the one with 320,000 miles on the odometer — and hit the road again. Smith is scheduled to begin his “Thank you for your service and sacrifice’’ tour on Friday, Sept. 18, in Huntsville, Alabama. During a condensed three-week window, Smith plans to cut the grass of veterans, Gold Star families, Purple Heart recipients, POWs, those missing in action and families of active-duty service members in 48 states. He intends to fly to Alaska and Hawaii to complete his mission, but those dates are undetermined. “They’re everyday heroes,’’ Smith said of veterans. “They [gave] their all for this country. We need to appreciate them and honor them while they’re here.’’ Rodney wants to expand the list of those he will mow for, so if you know someone with a military affiliation who can benefit from this amazing gesture tag them in the comments.

My Dad. My mentor. My very best friend. My “it’s okay, son, you got this, just get up and try again.” My “pops”, My “papa dukes”. My “forever-young old man”. My favorite person to watch Jets games with, even when we lose, which is a lot, goddamn. My editor. My muse. My hardest to impress. But I need someone in my life to keep my big ass head in check. You’re a lover not a fighter. But you’ll fight for what you love. So let’s fight this one together, and get another dub. I love you, Dad. We got this. Again. #fuckcancer FYI - Dad has CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) and his white blood cell count has steadily been climbing over the last several months. It’s at a point now where the docs believe he should start treatment again, but because one of the side effects of treatment greatly weakens the immune system, they advised him to postpone it a few more months (bc of Covid). To be clear, he is very upbeat and looks pretty damn good to me (we’ve been training together over zoom three times a week) to get his head and body in a good place. So we appreciate all the positive vibes y’all are sending. But he def ain’t on his death bed, so don’t treat it like that. 🤙🏼🙏🏼❤️ - @spoon_city on Instagram

Our hearts broke yesterday as we had to say goodbye to one of my best friends in the world, our dear Grandpop! A quiet, gentle, selfless soul with a warming and cheeky smile that will be dearly missed! I am so lucky and grateful to have had such a close friendship, so many quality years and memories to cherish with you. It is the burden of loving and being loved so deeply and unconditionally that we now have to live without you. 😢 At 91 years young, 63 years married to Nanna and a brilliant dad and grandpop to our family, you were such a fighter and well outlived your terminal diagnosis. You were always there with Nanna for every one of our birthdays, special school assemblies, last minute pick ups from the train station, family picnics, netball games and any special moments in my life, showing your support and letting us know how proud you were of us. I hope I can continue to make you proud, as I have always been of you all these years. We will remember him for his love of the golf course (and taking us to the driving range and always being so encouraging even if we were terrible), always a cup of tea in hand, Juicy Fruit chewy in his pocket, the most accurate seagull impression, making cakes, fly fishing, playing board games, doing crosswords and his favourite Hungry Jacks as a take away treat. I’m glad I got to spend these past few months back at home with you, that Alex got to meet you and that you got along so well. It warmed my heart when I would find you two chatting all things sport and adventure. So glad I got to hold your hand one last time, like you always did mine. We will miss him more than I can imagine but he can rest now in peace 🦋💙 - @annelisesutherland on Instagram

Im sharing an excerpt of my memoir-in-progress, Beneath the Pepper Trees, on the blog today. Set mostly in California, the memoir is about discovering my identity and relationship as a daughter to my stepfather. As I come of age, I also begin to also explore my relationship with my (deceased) birth father, pictured here, with my Granma and me. Beneath the Pepper Trees also explores the ways in which we create family out of the broken pieces of other families—a recurring challenge in my blended home. There are moments of adventure and fantasy—some natural to the setting, like my grandparents house, and others created because of my mental health issues.

Here’s Julia and Paul cutting the cake at their reception, held at Paul’s brother and sister-in-law’s home in Lumberville, Pennsylvania in 1946. The day before, Julia and Paul were in a car accident, which meant they were married with stitches and bandages, and with Paul using a cane, but in true Julia and Paul style, they soldiered on and enjoyed their very special day.

It’s with deep sorrow I share the news of the passing of my father, Henry George “Hank” Steinbrenner II. Ever since I can remember, my dad has always been my biggest supporter. He taught me determination, confidence and the desire to win above all else. Being a massive racing fan himself, when I sought to start a racing team, he stood in my corner the whole way. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons he taught me. I look forward to the day we are able to return to the track and race to win in his honor. Until then, my heart is with my family, our race team and the entire Yankees organization. Thank you to all for your kind words and support in this time. - @george.steinbrenneriv on Instagram

I lost my Dad a week and a day ago. I don’t wish for anyone to have to go through this experience during the pandemic. I’m extremely not okay.

I can’t even begin to describe how painful and traumatizing this has been. - @asanakagawa.wav on Instagram

September is a very special month, not only is it #ChildhoodCancerAwareness month, but it’s also #LeukemiaAwareness month. As some of you may know, my daughter-in-love, Maya was diagnosed with Leukemia almost 3 years ago. Throughout her entire treatment, my son Jelani never left her side, sleeping in a hospital chair next to her for 5 months. Their story truly shows the meaning of unconditional love and fearless perseverance. I felt helpless watching them go through this, and when I asked what I could do to support them, Jelani said to me, “Please Mom, just bring some good food for Thanksgiving.” And if you know me, you know that’s right up my alley! The family and I brought over a ginormous Thanksgiving spread...enough to feed the doctors, nurses, and all the hospital staff. While I was there that day, I braided her hair into 2 tight braids, knowing they’d stay there until she was ready to cut off her hair. Even through the tough times, we managed to build some great memories at @childrensla 🧡 Swipe to the end to see where @mayajonanichols and @officialchefjay are today. This month I honor and pray for all of those who have been affected by, or are battling childhood cancer and leukemia. Drop a “🧡” or a “💛” if you’re going gold and or orange this month in support of #ChildhoodCancerAwareness and #LeukemiaAwareness month. - @lisa2motivate on Instagram

Things that have NOT changed since this photo was taken: I still love my dad. I still have a lot of shit to say basically all the time. Things that have changed: I no longer wear loafers. My dad is CANCER FREE! We’re in the middle of a pandemic that disproportionately kills black people. And cancer, which stops for no one (not even Miss Rona) disproportionately kills black people because the American healthcare system is trash (see also: housing discrimination, public school funding etc). A lot of you have reached out recently to ask me how you can support me during America’s black genocide. The short answer: GIVE ME YOUR MONEY. I’m fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) in honor of my Dad’s victory over cancer and they are one of the only cancer orgs that not only acknowledges racism in the healthcare system, they also work to dismantle it WITH THEIR MONEY. Beyond their research for a cure, LLS offers financial aid, resources and information directly to black myeloma patients and that is some anti-racist ACTION I can fucking get behind. If I can raise $50,000 by July 19, LLS will name a research portfolio (like the clinical trial that saved his life) after my Dad. Your help to make that a reality would mean the world to both of us.

It’s crazy to think you’d be 92 today. Even harder to believe you’ve been gone for 3 years now. You’d be so proud of the boys and their sports and school. You’d be excited by us getting our home finally. You were there when our world crashed and helped me keep my sanity. I called your phone the other day but it’s disconnected of course. I drove a lot of miles today and while in the mountains I drove through an area that reminded me of us getting stuck while shooting guns. I pulled over and cried like a baby.

El primer día que llegué a Cuba conocí a este ilustre personaje ☺️ jeje !! Abrió la puerta de un aula en el Isa, me miró, recuerdo estar estudiando la conga, y había una batería al lado, nos pusimos a descargar durante largo rato, así sin nunca antes habernos conocido. Al rato nos mandaron a parar, nos reímos y así fue... ya ... ❤️para toda la vida ! 😊 Desde aquel día se convirtió en parte de mi familia, pa arriba y pa abajo , millones de anécdotas y momentos graciosos, debates hasta las mil horas, tertulias, bojeos, guararey’s, y de todo. Keisel , además de ser un hermano, es quien principalmente, junto a otros grandes amigos, me guió, tanto a mi, como a muchos de nosotros en nuestras carreras musicales. Yo le debo muchísimo a él. Pero de lo musical que voy a decir si ya lo conocen, el tipo está loco ! Jaj☺️🔥el show de Keisel que tenía a la gente con la boca abierta , chacho!! cerraba! 🔥No te dejaba ir hasta que no te mostraba todo jajajj 🤷♂️🔥😬☺️ Pero el punto es su don de gente , su amistad, el liderazgo natural para llevar adelante a un grupo de amigos, y la energía que desprende que tanto extrañamos. Hoy el está de cumpleaños !! @jimenezkeisel ☺️ Góza nicheeee! Te quiero con la vida y te extraño! (sobre todo las discusiones jajjj tratando de solucionar algo y al final no resolvíamos nada 🤣, hasta que llegaba quien tú sabes caminando por ahí atrás y decía “Pah !! El tiempo que pierden discutiendo!” 😂🤣) Amistad y hermandad ❤️ Pásala bien !!! y oh oh oh ! nos vemos mijo !!! El show de Keisel !😂☺️ - @joaquinbergamino on Instagram

Papou C’est dans la tristesse que je t’écris ces quelques mots, nos relations n’ont pas toujours été faciles, passant par des rires, de la déception et des coups de gueules, tu ne m’a jamais épargné faisant de toi ce que tu était. Je garde aujourd’hui en tête nos bon souvenirs, avec tes purées toujours raté, les kilos d’haricots vert que tu m’a forcé à avaler, ta météo dans la porte du micro onde et j’en passe... je garde aussi nos derniers fou rires avant ton départ puis pour finir l’image de l’homme fort et fier que tu as toujours été. J’aurais au moins hérité de ça, ta combativité, cette force qui t’as toujours tenu debout et t’as fait avancer malgré les obstacles, je sais aujourd’hui plus que jamais que je doit continuer à me battre corps et âme pour tracer ma route, obtenir ce que je désire et pour ceux qui me sont cher . Malgré la finalité tu peux partir en paix, le combat c’est toi qui l’a gagné. - @jeremtoto11 on Instagram

The handsome man holding the baby in the suit would have been 50 today. I wish he were here to have crabs and watch @ravens today but instead I’m gonna celebrate him by telling silly stories about him and cheering his team.

Ho sperato nell’impossibile, ho creduto fino all’ultimo che fossi l’unico in grado di scampare a quella maledetta figura oscura con la falce in mano. Mi sbagliavo. La morte piano piano prende tutti, non capisco perchè debba prendere sempre prima del dovuto tutti quelli a cui tengo. Ho fatto il possibile, l’impossibile e l’impensabile.... ma alla fine questo maledetto virus ti è venuto a bussare alla porta. E fidati quando ti dico che non te lo meritavi. Con te ho passato gran parte della mia infanzia e credo che tutto quello che sono oggi per la stragande maggioranza lo devo a te. Sei l’uomo che mi ha insegnato tutto. Mi hai insegnato che la fortuna non esiste. Mi hai insegnato che la tenacia e la forza di volontá sono alla base di tutto. Sei partito da gommista e sei volato in Argentina diventando dirigente di una delle più grosse multinazionali del mondo. Sei sempre stato il mio esempio di vita e lo sarai sempre nonostante l’assenza di quest’ultima. Dentro di me sapevo che prima o poi questo giorno sarebbe arrivato ma... scusami non riusciró mai ad abituarmi a queste cose. Ogni volta che succede una parte di me crolla e un altra diventa più forte perchè sa che dovrà andare avanti sempre più sola. Nei hai passate tante negli ultimi anni, ti ho visto sparire a poco a poco nella nebbia e nell’ultimo periodo sono venuto a trovare solo il tuo ricordo... Tramandare i ricordi è stato fondamentale per te: penso che tu sia l’unico nonno al mondo che in ereditá mi ha lasciato terabyte di video storici di famiglia, con annesse lettere e spiegazioni di ogni situazione. Hai sempre filmato tutto, chissà da chi ho preso la passione per i video :) Sei sempre stato orgoglioso di me, ma non ti sei mai reso conto che quello che sono diventato è solo grazie a te. Grazie di cuore, Sei stato il miglior nonno che si possa desiderare. Fabio. - @rovazzi on Instagram

pai, hoje você completa 57 anos (mas isso você já sabe né? rs) e eu completo hoje 22 dois aniversários seus do seu lado. ok que por conta da pandemia não estamos do seu lado do seu laaaado mesmo, mas como já dizia um antigo poeta, quem foi que disse que pra estar junto precisa estar perto, né? Então to passando só pra te dizer publicamente (porque sei que vc gosta dessas coisas ehehehe) que eu te amo, você é o melhor pai do mundo, obrigada por sempre lutar pra nos dar o melhor! mesmo que não esteja ao seu alcance você se desdobra em mil pra cuidar de todas nós e isso não tem preço! Obrigada por todos esses anos de aprendizado e por todos os anos que virão ainda! Obrigada por, junto da minha mãe, me ensinar que o amor é o bem mais valioso e que todos esses clichês são verdade e necessários de serem lembrados. Obrigada por me ensinar que dinheiro não é nada se não temos saúde, que família vem em primeiro lugar e a batalhar por tudo que eu quero e defender o que é meu! Você me ensinou o valor e o poder das amizades e da gratidão. obrigada! mais um clichê: o aniversário é seu mas quem ganhou o presente fomos nós! Sem enrolar mais, parabéns pelo seu dia gordão! parabéns por ser esse homem forte, aventureiro, guerreiro, trabalhador, engraçado, inteligente, visionário, carinhoso e sensível! parabéns por todas as vitórias e por ter encarado as perdas de cabeça erguida sem deixar a peteca cair! Parabéns pelo exemplo, parabéns por ser você ❤️ te amo muito, aproveita o seu dia, aproveita sua terra que quando a gente menos esperar tamo junto ai, fortaleza tem sorte em te ter nesse dia de celebração! feliz aniversário paçoca, ceará, meireles, meu pai ❤️ - @nnicolemei on Instagram

It’s a bittersweet week for me this week. My beautiful boy turns 20 and leaves for university. To say I’m proud of him is an understatement. After #Covid19 ruined his chance to make his film he made a film about not being able to make a film and smashed his uni entry interview with that instead. He’s talented, yes, but he’s also driven, committed and he’s my boy so he’s bloody minded too. I’ll be taking him to the next chapter in his life on Saturday. That’s the sweet bit. The bitter bit is that it wasn’t easy with his mum and we are only where we are because we both, Max & I, worked at it. He hasn’t lived with me since he was small and I feel like I’ve missed so much time with him. He knows I love him and I know he loves me and I hope he knows I’ve done what I can, I hope I’ve helped equip him for what’s to come...I worry I’ve let him down. Stupid I know. I wish many things but to have had him here with me...well, if wishes were fishes we’d all cast nets eh. Anyway, Dear World this is Max, he’s fucking hoofing and he’s my boy so don’t fuck him about or I’ll throat punch you and set fire to your balls. Love you boy and wherever your journey takes you I’ll be there with you. All the way. Always. - @old_goat72 on Instagram

There are probably better uses for a time machine — but if you could drop in on the band room at Philadelphias High School for Creative and Performing Arts, sometime in the late 1980s, youd encounter some historic jazz talent in the making.

give thanks for the fathers, father figures, papa bears, within divine masculine, and to all those that identify as such + who have played both mother and father roles, love and respect. to all the women who have represented both roles, much love and respect. it is a lifetime of work to repair my own wounded lineage and i celebrate the those in my life that have been father figures to me + for those that i hold these roles for. “papa didn’t die in vein, his son carries on his name. his face, his fire, his flame. the way he talked, the way he sang. the papa that raised me died of cancer, i was holding his hand as his spirit surrendered. put a roof over my head, food in my belly, he was a king and a father to many. oo so thankful + oo so grateful + got to give my papa a little kiss 💋” - @nahkobear on Instagram

I love this picture of us as it shows his spirit and attitude no matter the situation. He was always happy to see me and my family and truly cared about all of us. I’ll certainly miss our conversations and will miss hearing “How you doing boss?”. Thanks for loving us Danny. We all love you and will miss you so much. - @edesparza_atx on Instagram

It our anniversary! I couldn’t have imagined that a chance conversation about food ( bbq)would lead to an actual date, that led to me marrying Albert Kelly Armstead, AKA Guss. Some of you have heard our testimony. We met, fell in love and moved in. A next door neighbor invited us to church(Bethel COGIC). That day we committed our lives to the Lord. A few months later Guss and I decided that we would get married. The vows we made that day have surely been tested. We made a promise to love one another whether we were “ rich or poor”. We experienced many lean years together. Early in our marriage, there were occasions where we had to get food from a churches food pantry, in order to feed our babies.The lines in our vows that promised we’d stay together in “ sickness and in health” and for “better or worse,” have been proven.We have stood by one another, in some stellar moments,as well as some not so good moments. Our 33 years of marriage is a testament to the Power of God. He has enabled us to weather many storms and to keep the promises we made to one another, 33 years ago.Today, I vow that we will continue to walk hand in hand, and side by side,until, “death do us part”. I Love you Guss Armstead! - @christa.armstead on Instagram

In anticipation of today, over the last few weeks I have been considering the value of celebrating the anniversary of death in the same we we celebrate birth or the origins of love. I was feeling fairly against the notion, however this morning I considered what my father would have said if I had brought this question to him while he was alive. There’s no question he would have immediately referenced a dozen or so ancient cultures who believed that death was the most important aspect of life and one to be deeply revered and respected. He would have said, “why do you think I spent decades translating the Egyptian book of the dead if there wasn’t something to be celebrated” and that would have spiraled him into a tirade about ceremony and practice that would go on and on until I finally stopped him because at this point he’s talking about the different kinds of snakes that lives in ancient Sumer. And if that wasn’t enough for me he would have also stated, “if death isn’t important, why is jean Claude van damme, the greatest actor of all time in so many movies with the word death in the title?” You got me there pops, so celebrate we shall. My heart goes out to anyone who has lost someone and I stand firm in belief that we must celebrate that loss and the pain it brings. Wear it on your arm as a badge of honor, because that pain is the truest access point we have to the love we feel for those we lost. - @eamonorourke on Instagram

Happy Fathers Day to two of the most loving Dads in the whole world. ⠀ ⠀ First my Dad. The Old Lobo Merengo. You have taught me so much about this world. How to love, how to lead and how to be the anchor every family needs. Your drive and passion for life is contagious and is a trait I can already see is passing onto Sonny. When I think about Pop, I remember the way he could captivate a room with a story. You are no different. Always good for more than a few laughs, the biggest hug and help with absolutely anything. You have made me realise the value of time and supported me through the growth of my businesses. A business that has resulted in more time with my family than I could have ever wished for. I love and appreciate you Dad. ⠀ ⠀ Secondly, my Father-in-Law. The old chicken legs himself, @maller.max . You accepted me into your family with open arms over 10 years ago. In that time you have taught me so much. From correctly spacing timber decking to perfectly wall mounting a TV. You taught me the value of a good tool and have been cursing me since realising most of yours now live at my house. I took the massive risk of buying a house literally a 45 second drive from yours as a 24 year old with the forsight that one day, it might pay off. Being able to create family experiences for Sonny with his Nanny and Papa at the drop of a hat has been priceless. Sonny’s love for you is immeasurable. Thank you for everything mate. - @mr.rob.roper on Instagram

It’s my nephew Lincoln’s birthday today! While you may not know Lincoln, all I can say is that this special man has been a lifeline for me. I’ve been FaceTiming him and my sister Jacqueline multiple times per week since he’s been born. During the good times and the ‘opportunities’ to adopt a better outlook on things, Lincoln has ALWAYS made me smile because he is a beautiful soul and a wonderful little man!! That is truly priceless. I’ll never be able to repay Lincoln for being the amazing little man he is, but he knows he’ll always have Uncle Gary in his corner. To all those with special kids in your lives, I share your gratitude. Be safe to all and happy birthday Linc!!! #wowwhataspecialguy #itsmynephewsbirthday #family - @garyjamesleblanc on Instagram

A few of my favourite photos to look back on of my dad Stephen. Almost 16 years later and I am so fortunate to be able to look back on all the memories I have of you as well as your father, Rolf. Truly the most caring, respectful and well loved people of your time. A true family man, I wish we could still spend as much time together as we used to. Funny to look back and see where I inherited all my stunning features from, so thanks for that buds!! Happy Father’s Day to you and all the other great fathers or father figures out there! A nice reminder to not take any time with loved ones for granted. ❤️ - @cheflatte6 on Instagram

We don’t need Father’s Day to keep Grandpa Ray included in the family conversations. All 6 grandchildren can tell you a Grandpa Ray story- even though not one of them ever met him in person! #fathersday - @terilfesta on Instagram

Me and my grandpa, Emmet. He was the direct descendant of enslaved Africans, a civil-rights activist and someone who intimately experienced systemic racism as a constant force in his life. His sons (my dad and uncles) grew up in San Fransisco and carried on the efforts of dismantling racism as they saw it penetrate their own lives on a daily basis. They are my experts in racism and the eyes through which my family views America today. I may not know what it’s like to live in a black body but I will always look to those that do, because my love encompasses them. I was lucky enough to be born into a diversity of voices, but you can also benefit from richly mixed influences simply by extending your love. All you have to do is choose to love them first, then ask what it’s like. Then listen. If you don’t have experts on what it is to live in a black body. Find one. Follow one. Read one. Love one. There’s no excuse anymore to have all your information being filtered through white voices. It’s literally the lowest hanging fruit I can beg you to grasp: let your love be bigger than your ignorance. Stop letting smug white guys on youtube tell you racism isn’t an intentionally created system designed to loot the bodies of black people. Love them. Then redirect your rage. - @therosslers on Instagram
