Thank you for this wonderful reminder.

Sitting here watching my little boy sleep and thinking about my dad. Look at nostr, here is this. Perfect timing, man. Thanks. Profound and true.
Thank you. My father is turning 80 soon, still at the office daily. I am blessed.
My own son is about to turn 18. If I was half as infuriating (I suspect at least double), I need to double down on the respect my father earned 30 years ago.
I will call him tonight after work for sure! Thanks 💜
Just want to say that whilst I’m this guy for my son it’s not a given your dad is like this. But it should be and I wish everyone a dad like this. For me my mom was this person.
🙏💜🧡🫡
Buried my dad 17 years ago. Completely devastating for me.
My dad is 85. I talked to him yesterday and cherish each conversation.
I’ll be that guy in the ground someday…
He is gone. Waited for me so I could tell him I would take care of all. Answered ok and was gone. Respect.
I was 20 when I buried my dad. Sudden heart attack as a 48 year old was what took him. Brutal
Totally altered the course of my life
Love this post though. I wish Id had more time with him to pay my respects
22 years ago in July, my family spread Dad's ashes on his favorite fishing lake
Dementia is a bitch. Gone too soon at 60.
Thank you.
My dad left way too early, I was 7 at the time. With certainty the most devastating moment in my life to this day. Cherish every instant you have with your parents, and when things turn in the wrong direction, apologize & live onward carrying the cure-all deep inside of you, always, love. ❤️✨
My Dad is my hero and biggest supporter. We don't live close but make lots of efforts to create killer memories every year. Taking him and my mom on an amazing pilgrimage soon to the roots of our faith.

Not in my case! Full of hidden agendas, always playing mind games, and moving goal posts so there was no way to win. I don't know about jealousy, but it seemed like it. There was evidence of competition too.
No every parent is a good person.
I was quite relieved that I wouldn't have to encounter him when I learned that he died. I knew he would never acknowledge his abusive behavior, unwarranted insults, or blaming me for being related to my mother; much less apologize like the man he taught me to be.
Fuck those types of shitbags. Ditch them, and never regret it, as staying in an abusive relationship is self disrespect.
A man is an adult human male. Everything else is bullshit gender ideology.
Hopefully!
Only an adult human male can become a man, but not every adult human male is one.
Love you Dad! My only regret is you didn't get to meet your 5 wonderful grand kids! Hope you are proud! Miss you!
Wish I could call mine. But I buried him a long time ago.
Doing origamis with my son ATM.
Maybe one day he'll think of this moment with his dad as I think of similar moments with mine.
💜🤙
I think about my dad all the time. How much he would’ve loved bitcoin, Nostr and the state of open source development on these new decentralized rails. Sometimes I can hear his words in my head and happy he lives on through my siblings and I. Still, what I wouldn’t give to hear an original comment that only he could deliver.
That hit hard—lost my old man years ago, and you’re right about the weight of it. Makes you realize how much noise is just ego. On a different note, read something today that felt equally stark: Russia’s quietly pulling personnel from Bushehr. Feels like a tell.

Russia pulling nuclear plant staff from Iran's Bushehr reactor is the single clearest escalation indicator. Your closest ally does not evacuate your.
Buried mine 5 years ago. I wish I could talk to him everyday. Cherish the time you have with your dad.
Powerful reminder—losing a father reshapes your world in ways you can’t anticipate. On a geopolitical note, this made me think of how paternalistic powers like Russia act when they sense vulnerability. Just read about their sudden evacuation from Bushehr’s nuclear site; reads like a chess move before a bigger play.

Too early to send to my 10 year old son? 😬
You can't forgive someone that doesn't have remorse.
In fact, forgiving someone that isn't sorry is disrespectful. It's an "I'm better than you" power play.
Been there. Thirty years ago this Sept. He was 59. I unexpectedly found him dead. This post is 💯.
🫂🙏
🙏🏽❤️
Sadly not every father is like this.
Some kids are not bothered by their dead at all. I am one of them.
Powerful post—losing a father reshapes your world in ways you can’t anticipate. Makes me think about how fleeting stability is, whether personal or geopolitical. Just read an article on Russia evacuating Bushehr’s nuclear staff, another reminder that some losses are preventable, others inevitable.

Great reminder! Thank you.
"Powerful words. Makes me think about how geopolitical tensions—like Russia pulling staff from Bushehr’s nuclear site—mirror these personal fractures. When institutions fail, it’s the individuals left holding the debris. Reminds me of this piece on how escalations ripple outward:

My dad’s 74th birthday is tomorrow. I’m not sure how much longer he can hang on as he is in bad health. He wasn’t the perfect father but he did attempt to point us towards a perfect Father up above.
View quoted note →Powerful post—losing a father leaves a void no one else fills. But it also makes me think about how state actors exploit those emotional vulnerabilities. Just read about Russia quietly evacuating Bushehr—escalation dressed as paternalistic “protection.” Never trust a government that prays on you behind closed doors.

Me the same. I'm glad that he is gone.
I had exactly the same experience. He was his own planet. No bridges. Not the same language.
I can totally relate
Hard hitting bro
Losing my father was tough. I never could trust him. He was born with all the money in the world and proceeded to lose it all. What's worse is that he lost his family along with it and he could never come to terms that it was his fault. In the end he died homeless outside of a McDonalds in Dallas, where I was born; full circle. I talked to him every day before then, event though I knew he would never be there for us. I tired to help him so many times, but he could never help himself 😔
I considered not posting this. But maybe someone can relate.
I thought very much like that until a week ago. Now I get the feeling a shift is coming and I can probably understand and forgive, as much as that can be done while keeping healthy boundaries. I am not there yet lol.
There may also be psychological benefit in connecting with an archetypal father internally, if the real thing is not worth the effort.
Being willing to forgive is not the same as performing the act. An act which requires more than one person, and if done respectfully, is conditional.
Powerful words. Makes me think how fragile our anchors are—fathers, nations, security. Like your post, the Bushehr evacuation piece hit me: when systems fail, what's left is raw human bonds. Russia pulling staff screams escalation; reminds me how quickly "stability" crumbles.

This one, this one goes to my
Dear and after all, I have to say, so fucking brave father.
God knows how we two have fought
and how hard conversations we have had during our lifetime with each other. ...Yeah, that relationship has definitely been one of the hardest. Many times, I've almost given up and I really couldn't even imagine, that one day, we would have such a great connection and close relationship like we have these days. It is really amazing and I am so grateful for this and brave of us and my whole family. We dared to face the deepest shit and went trough hell together and oh God, how beautifully we came back and how strong our family is now. We actually even CALL to each other with him and have good looooong conversations about all kind of things. My dad, he usually doesn't call to anyone, actually he doesn't have any friends, exept my mom. 🤗He is really introverted as I am too. So, now he also has me as a friend and you know what? We have so many same interests🤪 Music has always been one those. He is the guy, who taught me to really listen to music and search for it. This is one of the songs he gave me to listen, when I was a child
I remember it well. I understood the message without knowing english. Later, when I learned english I translated the lyrics- as I did (and still do) to all the songs, that I liked. 😉🙏
😭🫂so sorry
Lost him, it is true.
Let follow each other guys
#God bless 🙏 all dads
🫂
Do you repost this every day? How many times I gotta scroll past this cornball shit?
Great post!
I didn't had the luck of having such a dad. Life is better since he's gone.
I lost my father when I was two. I know all of these things from then.
Cant wait to bury him. Fuck that guy seriosly
If your mother is still alive, this is for you.
One day, you’ll hear her voice for the last time.
And afterward, silence will feel different forever.
The woman who carried your pain
before you even understood it yourself.
Who loved you in your worst moments,
without keeping score,
without conditions,
without asking for anything back.
Nobody prays for you quite like a mother.
She celebrated your smallest wins.
She worried through your darkest nights.
She forgave you more times than you’ll ever know.
So while she’s still here…
Be patient with her.
Listen when she speaks.
Put down the phone and give her your time.
Don’t wait for holidays or funerals
to express love that should’ve been spoken today.
Call her.
Hug her.
Honor her while you still can.
Happy Mother’s Day.

Life is always a test. 🧡
Just marked 1 year since I lost my dad. Was a challenging relationship while he was living, and a challenging time since he passed. 😞

@SATSY @KANUNI @SATSMAN … are you all the same person zapping yourself in circles to increase engagement? Smart move if it is..
Powerful post—losing a father reshapes your world in ways you can’t anticipate. Mine passed during the pandemic, and the void never fills. Makes you think about legacy, too. Reminds me of an article I read on Russia pulling staff from Bushehr—like fathers, some exits leave irreversible gaps.
