Because Fathers Day and Fist of the North Star combined makes for ALL MY TEARS AND FEELS
Please, compose yourself mister Mun. I shall speak if it will make you go to bed- it is not good for your health to keep such late hours.
A day to honor ones father... I must admit that taking an entire day just to celebrate familial bonds sounds too good to be true. Even if it is as you say and it started out as crass commercialism, the simple fact that peoples lives are so peaceful that they can celebrate such things seems to me a blessing beyond compare.
It... makes me wish I had some words for my own father today: but I don't remember him. I don't even know if he cared. That is why I won't say something scolding like "honor and respect your father", I know all too well what an insult it could be to some people. I do not have that right. Instead... let me use this day to tell my children how grateful I am for them.
Without you I wouldn't know how life could be more than a constant struggle for survival. I wouldn't have known how a smile made a hundred mile-march worth every step, or how a single tear on your cheeks could cut me deeper than spears ever could. I wouldn't have realized how lonely and frightened I were, for even if Lady Yuria opened my eyes it was you who taught me how to see. If not for you, I would not be the man I am today... possibly not even human. I still remember your faces and names: take care of each other, and love the new siblings you take in just as much as I love you.
Sons and daughters... this day would be meaningless if not for you. My children... are my treasures. It is my hope that someone, on this day, considers you theirs.
