Today served as a dual holiday with both Father’s Day and Juneteenth. I have to admit I’m still learning about the latter and how I can best celebrate it, as well as contribute to our nation’s continual betterment.

As for the former, I’ve been benefiting from that my entire life. Parents are the most important figures in one’s life. They model how to experience the world, how to process it, and how to behave in it. Thank you Dad for being all I could ever ask for, and for spurring the thinking necessary to making the world a better place. Happy Father’s Day.
