Another beautiful post my friend. Thanks to your post, I just realize I've never seen my Dad cry as well. He never showed his real emotion when he was sad. So I dont feel really close to him.

Our society makes us feel if a man cries, he is not strong and it is so wrong. I understand this as my partner is easy to express his feelings unlike my dad. He cried when he is sad. He cried when he saw me in pain. But he is not a weak person when it comes to protecting what he loves and follows.

I just wish it was easier for our Dads to show their emotions and feeling. It is healthy way to live a happy life. In November, we celebrate Men's health awareneess month in NZ, which they encourgae men to show feelings and emotion. They try to educte men that it is ok to cry, it is totally fine to talk about your feelingsabd it is good to be yourself
