Fathers' Day special?

Early this week, my favourite  radio station advertised that they were going to interview the father and son politician pair in their Breakfast Grille segment in conjunction with Fathers' Day over the weekend. I was curious to see (hear) how they were going glorify this father of a figure who attained notoriety via his digital display of his bedroom antics with his mistress which he claimed was with the approval and knowledge of his wife not many years ago. A politician, being a politician, thick lichenified skinned and shameless, managed to return to hold the helm which he once lost. Not much to my surprise, the duo did not appear together. In its place, Sr. was interviewed on his political party and agenda and nothing about being a father.
My learned uncle, ever so bitter with his late father, offered his fatherly words of wisdom to me when I was growing up. "Anyone can be father. To be a good one, that's one should thrive to be!". In my books, I suppose a good father should be one who should be able to provide for his family in his own able way and be a pillar of Gibraltar and a yardstick for his kids to emulate. Talking from experience, we all would not appreciate our old men until we ourselves got into fatherhood and discover the intricacies of diplomacy and wriggling through sticky situations as a father. By then, we would realise that we had indeed evolved to fit into the shoes of the man we had earlier never saw eye to eye in our earlier younger blooded days and never wanted to be like - our fathers. Happy Fathers' Day!
