The fight for fathers goes on

A top letter in today's DomPost from Bruce Tichbon who has tirelessly championed fathers for probably the last 20 years. And probably will for the next twenty. I take my hat off to you, Bruce.

I agree LM, I came from a home where my mother died when I was young but my father still managed a full-time job and raise us, with the help of grandparents who picked us up from school and local members of the church who provided free childcare after school until Dad was able to pick us up. Or teachers who were at school at 8am and didn't mind if we turned up early and played outside.

With this he had no car for most of this time but I will always enjoy Friday where Dad would finish early from work and take us down to the local pool to swim and have fish and chips on a Friday.

He has been hero in my life and I just wish I will meet his standards .

What a great Dad. I am sure you will meet his standards if for no other reason than you want to.
