“To all the dads out there going above and beyond for their loved ones, thank you for all you do,” the proud son wrote, before personalizing his message. ‘Dad, today I remember you specifically for your bravery and compassion. Thank you for helping me learn to be kind to myself as a first step in showing myself to others. Happy Father’s Day, I LOVE YOU forever!’
