Not to be depressing, but:
My Dad wasn't around much when I was a kid. He made sure my family had a roof over our heads and food on our table, but he wasn't really there to provide me with much help or advice about life and growing into adulthood. He was more of a financial provider than a father. I really wish he would have been more of a father, because I needed one. As I've gotten older, my relationship with him has improved and I've gotten to know him more than I did when I was a child. He's more of a friend than a Dad, though. It's unfortunate.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope that you guys who are fathers will remember to make time for your children and to help them grow up. It can be pretty hard out there.
Sorry if that was depressing or presumptuous.
